How the Angel Name Generator works
This angel name generator is free and makes a new batch each time. Generate angel names: celestial names such as Ithariel, Sarathiel and Caelithar, names with a choir such as Vesperiel of the Seventh Choir, names with a charge such as Ondriel, Angel of Quiet Endings and Rhavaniel, who keeps Lost Travellers, seraphs and archangels such as Seraph Lumenithar the Unfallen and Archangel Zorathiel, Herald of the Dawn Host, and host and choir names such as the Sleepless Watch and the Vigil of Small Mercies. Generate up to a hundred at once.
Angel name generator: where the names come from
Angels in fantasy are the messengers and soldiers of the heavens, and their names carry the shape the old languages gave them, the -iel and -el ending that means of God in Hebrew and that every angelic name in the tradition ends with. This generator keeps the shape and makes the names new: Ithariel, Sarathiel, Vesperiel, Rhavaniel, and a second shape, -ithar, Caelithar, Lumenithar, Solithar, for a setting that wants its angels to sound like their own order rather than a borrowed one. The choir is the rank, since the tradition sorts angels into nine choirs; the charge is what the angel keeps, Quiet Endings, Lost Travellers, Unanswered Prayers, Small Mercies, the odd, specific things a story-angel is angel of. The seraph and the archangel are the great ones, and the host is the army.
Celestial name gives the name alone, from the list or built from a stem and an ending. Name with choir places it in a numbered choir, the Seventh Choir, the Silent Choir, the Burning Choir, sometimes with a rank within it, Herald, Watcher, Scribe, Lantern. Name with charge gives the angel of a thing, or an adjective, the Unfallen, the Many-Eyed, the Grieving. Seraph or archangel gives the great title, Seraph, Archangel, Throne, Dominion, Principality, with the name and often the charge or the host. Host or choir name gives the army or the order, the Dawn Host, the Grey Cohort, the Sleepless Watch, the Vigil of Small Mercies.
There is no gender option. Angels in the tradition are without gender and the names here do not carry one; a setting that genders its angels can add it in the description and the name will fit.
The lists are original. No name here is one of the angels of scripture or of the apocryphal lists, and none belongs to a published setting; the -iel shape is the common property of the tradition, so a coinage may resemble a traditional name by chance, and a name intended for commercial use should be searched first.
For the mortal with an angel in the bloodline, the aasimar page; for the demon on the other side, the demon page; for the deity the host serves, the deity page; and for the paladin who prays to the angel, the paladin page.
FAQ
Why do angel names end in -iel?
Because the -el ending means of God in Hebrew and every angel of the tradition carries it. The names here keep the shape and coin the rest, Ithariel, Vesperiel, and offer a second ending, -ithar, for a setting that wants its own angelic tongue.
What is an angel's charge?
The thing the angel is angel of, Quiet Endings, Lost Travellers, Unanswered Prayers, Small Mercies. The Name with charge kind gives it, and it does more for a character than a rank, since a story-angel is remembered for what it keeps.
What are the choirs?
The nine ranks of the tradition, from seraphim at the top to angels at the bottom. Name with choir places a name in a numbered or named choir, the Seventh Choir, the Silent Choir, and Seraph or archangel gives the great titles, Seraph, Throne, Dominion, Principality.
Is there a gender option?
No. Angels in the tradition are without gender and the names here do not carry one. A setting that genders its angels can add it in the character description; the -iel and -ithar shapes read either way.
Are any of these names from published works?
No. Every list is original. No name here is an angel of scripture or of the apocryphal lists, and none belongs to a published setting; the -iel shape is the tradition's, so a coinage may resemble a traditional name by chance, and a name meant for commercial use should be searched first.
