Behind the Name:

cravensencomium:

Angélique
Angelic
Origin: French.

Uh, serious case of did not do the research here.
From Behindthename:

Derived from Latin angelicus meaning “angelic”, ultimately related to Greek αγγελος (angelos) “messenger”. This name was used by the poets Boiardo and Ariosto in their ‘Orlando’ poems (1495 and 1532), where it belongs to Orlando’s love interest. It has been used as a given name since the 18th century.

Nolwenn

Didn’t find it on name-meanings, so from behindthename:

GENDER: Feminine

USAGE: Breton

Meaning & History: From the Breton phrase Noyal Gwenn meaning “holy one from Noyal”. This was the epithet of a 6th-century saint and martyr from Brittany.

And I wanted to add that nowadays, Nolwenn also means ” little white lamb”
