Some surnames begin with the word "de," as in "de Vaca" or "de Castilla."
The word "de" means "of" or "from" in many Latin-derived languages. In a name it can mean that an ancestor was "from" or otherwise associated with a place, or was honored by being given a title related to that place.
In some Hispanic communities, "de" is also used to identify the surname of a woman's husband, or of a child's father.

Since "de Angelis" means "of the angles" or "from the angles" it is much more likely to be used as a name for a Christian Catholic family than for a Jewish family.AnswerI strongly disagree. The surname DE ANGELIS is a Jewish surname. My grandmother's surname was De Angelis. De Angelis was originally "DE MALACH".
