Angel Names: A Complete List of Angel Names and Their Meanings

Angel names have roots in ancient cultures — Babylonian, Assyrian, Egyptian — as well as within Jewish, Christian, Islamic, and other traditions. Over thousands of years they have evolved in spelling, meaning and use. Most traditional angel names include a suffix meaning “of God” (-el) or “Lord” (-iah, -yah), reflecting the belief that angels derive their nature and authority from the divine.

The following is a comprehensive reference list of angel names collected from historical, religious, and mystical sources. We have focused on angels of helpful and benevolent character. For fallen angels see Fallen Angel Names.
