This represents over twenty pages of angel names, copied from A Dictionary of Angels by Gustav Davidson. This isn't even half of what's in that book, so if you want the full list, read the book. Most of this list is paraphrased from there. The decision for which names to copy down was pretty arbitrary... I tried to get all the important ones, but for the less important ones, I only copied them down if they sounded cool and I thought they would make for good character names. Most of the information contained here comes from apocryphal texts and grimoires. Original sources include, but are not limited to: The Zohar, The Talmud, The Key of Solomon, The Testament of Abraham, the Book of Enoch, The Books of Occult Philosophy, and various other books of extremely obscure Jewish lore and occultism. A lot of the lore is extremely confusing and contradictory, so don't expect it to make sense.

Abariel: An angel from some systems of ceremonial magic (e.g. The Greater Key of Solomon), used for invoking.
