"zanj"

Example: zanj Bondye (God's angel)

Please note that the word "lezanj" is also Haitian Creole, but mostly used in a poetic sense. For example, one would say in Creole: "Gade figi ti lezanj lan!" (Look at this little cute face!).

Hope to be of help to you.

PS.- The word "ange" is strictly French.
