The name Angela is derived from the dialectal word angelma meaning "Filipendula sp."

A village by that name has existed at least since 1540, when it was mentioned as Anghela and a part of the Halikko parish.

The names Korpi and Päärnäspää were still occasionally used for the parish until the late 18th century.

Today, the church and the peninsula it is on are classified as a built-up cultural environment of national significance.
