The traditional Polish form of this name is Aniela, but Angela has had some usage in the recent years, along with Angelika and Angelina. Angela can be a name in its own right just like in English, but it can also be used as a nickname of Angelika/Angelina, and since there are more Angelikas in Poland than Angelas, I would assume that most women referred to as Angela here would actually be named Angelika. I know quite a few Angelikas and they are all sometimes called Angela, while I know only one (Polish) woman whose actual, legal name is Angela.
Last year (2019) 6 baby girls in Poland were given the name Angela and the name was #416 in the girls' first names' ranking, behind Aniela, Angelika and Angelina. Two girls were given the name Andżela, so it was #803 in the ranking and less popular than Andżelika. Angela was given to 7 girls as a middle name, with the name landing at #290 in the girls' middle names' ranking, also behind Aniela, Angelika and Angelina, but higher than Angel, and Andżela was not listed as a middle name at all. In July 2017, there were 1756 women in Poland bearing the name Angela, so again less than Anielas, Angelikas and Angelinas, only Angelicas and Angels were less common among Angel- names for women, and there were 141 Andżelas, less than Andżelikas, Andrzelikas and Andżelinas, and also there were 291 Anzhelas. There are no official data as far back as the 70-80's, but apparently that's when those Angel- names from abroad have started to be used in Poland more widely, and Angelika achieved quite some popularity, but now they're all going down and are used less and less, meanwhile Aniela which feels like an old-lady name to many, is coming back into fashion and I've heard about quite a few little Anielas lately though haven't met any baby with this name yet.
An Angela could celebrate her name day in Poland either on January 27, or with Aniela (January 4, March 28, May 30, May 31, November 18), or perhaps on the feast day of Guardian Angels (October 2).
Nicknames may include Angelka, Angie/Endżi, Andzia, Ania, Ela...
