I'm not sure if all. But most. Like Angelina would not be given. Angela would be the name with Angelina as a pet form. The Spanish pet form is Angelita (like Angelito a pet form of Angel).

(Not Carolina and Marina though, I believe)

I've known a few Angelinas

So, it is a given name.

Angelina

Originally, Angelina is an Italian diminutive of Angela. In Spanish (coming from Italian), it is used as independent name.
