Archangel names for boys are powerful in meaning and might. These heavenly beings have a strong tie to religions around the world and offering a guiding light to those given them.
In the Christian Bible, few archangels are named, though you’ll find others in Judaism and Islam. Michael is the one most widely known, and he’s also the name that’s the most popular among them. Meaning “who is like God,” this handsome name has achieved timeless status across the world. He’s a powerful name, and his background gives him extra courage for the road ahead. Michael was the angel who fought against Satan and protected God’s people in Biblical texts. It’s understandable why he’s so beloved.
Gabriel is another archangel and is seen as one incredibly close to God. He’s so close he’s often called God’s right hand. Often depicted as God’s messenger, he too has seen steady popularity around the world but has never reached the point of overuse. Meaning “God is my strength,” he’s an amazing name for any little boy.
Raphael is the most gentle of archangels, depicted as the one standing in front of God’s throne. He’s noted as a healer and a comforter — a wonderful association for any name to have. In fact, his meaning of “divine healer” says it all. He’s never reached the level of popularity of other archangel names, but we think he’s more than ready for his chance to shine.
Some archangel names are quite rare, like Barachiel. This grand, handsome name is a head turner, and we would love to see him more often. Uriel is another that we see with room to grow, along with Ramiel and Zedekiel, to name a few.
