Reply:The thing about Hebrew is, it only really translates well if your name is actually of Hebrew origin. Which it isn't - Angelica is a Greek name, originally - and there's no soft g, either.





The "a" to start doesn't exist in Hebrew. Neither does the soft "g" - there's no letter which corresponds to that sound - just a hard "g" (gimel) or a "y" (yud).





I'd stick with a more familiar alphabet... like the Latin one. To put it simply, if you spelled your name out in Hebrew letters, you'd end up with, at best, "Ahnyelicah".





Not quite right.
Reply:As a Hebrew native, I have two suggestions :


1 - use the best/closest match 讗谞讙诇讬拽讛 which sounds like


AN-GE-LI-KA (hard G)


2 - Angel in hebrew is (female form) 诪诇讗讻讬转 which is not a name


but more of a adjective.
Reply:no exact translation. angel is ok looking. The "a" in hebrew is kinda ugly though.
Reply:well if you arent hebrew not really sure why you are considering it
