Angela Brooksbank: Hello, my name is Angela Brooksbank. My first name, Angela, comes from the Greek word Angelos, which means angel. My surname is Brooksbank. It's a very old English name, which comes from Yorkshire, a county in the north of England. Brook means little stream, and bank is the sloping side running down to that stream. So Brooksbank means the side of a little stream.
Yorkshire has some extremely beautiful countryside, so there will be lots of beautiful little brooks there.
