The perfect baby name!!!!

That’s…interesting. I can’t figure out if Kabalarian means Qabbalist. [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/confused.gif[/img] I’ve spent a lot of time studying the etymologies of names. I’ve traced 100 first names through 8 languages.

It depends on your source, actually. The Bible lists three–Gabriel, Michael, and Raphael. Other religions(angels are not strictly Christian) list as many as seven, that’s where I got Uriel from. Michael does seem to be the most popular, though.
(Yes, I am obsessed with angels. I can go on about this topic for hours on end, but I don’t think anyone here wants that…:P

Not sure…I know Azazel is a fallen angel but I can’t remember what literature he’s in. I’ve read a story about Uriel helping Solomon build the temple of Jerusalem…that might have been from the Apocrypha.

To my knowledge the only two angels named in the Bible are Gabriel and Michael, and contrary to popular belief, Gabriel is never referred to as an Archangel, but Michael is.

Finally, One of my favourites:

quote:

---

1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
2 He called a little child and had him stand among them.
3 And he said: “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
4 Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 “And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me.
6 But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
7 “Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin! Such things must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!
8 If your hand or your foot causes you to sin cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire.
9 And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.
[b]10 “See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.[/b]

Raphael figures very prominently in the book of Tobit. At the end when he reveals his identity he says “I am Raphael, on of the seven archangels who stand before the glory of the Lord.” So there’s at least seven but some aren’t named.

My last post was a bit rushed but I wanted to mention a good website for this sort of thing. It’s called Sarah’s Archangel’s, and it has an alphabetical list of all the angels mentioned in the Bible, the Apocryha, and I think there’s got to be some from other religious texts cuz there’s a lot. Very cool and informative. I learned almost everything I know about angels from there.
