Question
Alright straight off I know about the coming back like an angel thing from his little sister part and the slaughter of his family and servant, but how exactly did he get named 'Angelus' and not Angel from that. I just don't get that part.

Answer
Hi Joe,
Thank you for your question.

I think its mostly a writing thing, his human name was Liam, his evil persona is Angelus and when he's good its Angel, so I guess he needed different names so that viewers could tell that he is two different people in those states.
However Angelus is the latin for Angel so in the time that he and his sister were alive they would have learnt latin and it would have been widely used and understood globally. Therefore making him as infamous as he was.

I hope that has helped, any further questions on this subject or any other, don't hesitate to ask,
