The process of adopting fixed hereditary surnames began in Italy in the 10th and 11th centuries. Angioli is thought to have originally been a nickname for the first bearer of this surname. As a nickname, Angioli most likely described a person who was "angelic," or perhaps a person who acted as some kind of religious messenger.
