Agathange

It is a Combination (composed, blended name) of Agathon and Angel. Agathon derives from the Ancient Greek name Agáthōn (Ἀγάθων) from “agathós (ᾰ̓γᾰθός),” meaning “good, brave, noble, moral, fortunate, lucky.” Angel derives from the Ancient Greek “ággelos / ángelos (ἄγγελος),” meaning “a messenger, one that announces, angel, heavenly spirit.” In turn, the name means “bearer of good news, a person with good character, brave, noble in spirit.” Agathon (~448–400 BC) was an Athenian tragic poet whose works have been lost. He is best known for his appearance in Plato’s symposium. An angel is a supernatural being or spirit, often depicted in humanoid form with feathered wings on their backs and halos around their heads, found in various religions and mythologies. 1) Agathangelos was a supposed secretary of Tiridates III, King of Armenia, under whose name there has come down a life of the first apostle of Armenia, Gregory the Illuminator, who died about 332. 2) Saint Agathangelus of Rome († 312), was a Roman deacon and disciple of Clement of Ancyra, was a martyr during the reign of Emperor Diocletian.
