The name Angelina IS used in Poland, unlike the previous commenter wrote. It may not be very popular and it's sort of controversial for many people because it's unclear how it should be spelled/pronounced, and Polish is a phonetical language so it's not a common situation, but it is used over here. The name Angelika was popular sometime in the late 80's-early 90's, and you can still find quite a handful of little baby Angelikas every year, and I believe Angelina - and to a lesser extent Angela as well - have started being used over here thanks to Angelika, and likely also thanks to Angelina Jolie to some degree, even though we do actually have our own Angela related name which is Aniela. Most people pronounce Angelika, Angelina and Angela with the hard G as in English or Italian, however according to Polish phonetics, the spelling would suggest pronouncing it with the soft G as in Gabriella and some people, especially linguists, insist that these angelic names should be pronounced this way, or at least that they should be spelled to reflect the pronunciation. To reflect that first pronunciation, another way to spell Angelina in Polish is Andżelina. But in fact you'll rarely if ever hear Angelina/Angelika/Angela being pronounced with a soft G, I've heard that only among nuns. Angelina has even two name days in Poland - 30th April and 15th July. - It's perceived as very modern here, as many other names that have come from the English-speaking world, and many people find Angelina and her other angelic cousins with the hard G rather pretentious and lower-class. In July 2017, there were 2854 Angelinas in the Polish population, followed by 400 Andżelinas, and even 198 Anhelinas. I've also heard about the spelling Andrzelina being used, but it must be very rare and it's not ortographically correct. Last year (2018), 12 baby girls were given the name Angelina (#280 in the girls' ranking) and there were no other spellings listed. Possible nicknames may include Angela, Angelka, Andzia, Angelinka, Angelusia, Lina, Linka, and whatever else you can come up with.

"Angelina" is a popular Bulgarian name too. "Angel" is the masculine form in Bulgaria. The Bulgarian word "angel" means "angel" in English, but the Bulgarian pronunciation is [angel], where "a" is pronounced [a], not [ei], "g" is pronounced [g], not [dg] or [j], "e" is pronounced [e] and the stress is on the "a". "Angelina" is pronounced in the same way except the stress - here the stress is on the "i".
