Fallen Angel Names: 85 Names From Enoch, Milton and Myth

By Metavulgar · updated 2026-11-13 · 5 min read

Fallen angel names are easier to find than to source. The words people use for fallen angels come from a handful of texts: the Book of Enoch, Jewish and Christian tradition, and John Milton's epic Paradise Lost, plus a lot of later fiction. This list sorts names by where they really come from, marks the invented ones, and helps you choose a name for an original character or a roleplay.

The sources, briefly

• 1 Enoch (Book of the Watchers). An ancient Jewish text, chapters 6–11 tell of about two hundred angels, the Watchers, who descend to Mount Hermon under their leader Semjaza (also written Shemhazai, Samyaza). Azazel is their chief ally, credited with teaching metalworking. The lists of names vary between manuscripts and translations, so spellings are not fixed.
• Hebrew Bible. Azazel appears in Leviticus 16 in the scapegoat ritual of the Day of Atonement, and many scholars connect that figure to the Enochic Azazel.
• Christian and Jewish tradition. Lucifer comes from Latin "light-bringer", the Vulgate rendering of Isaiah 14:12, later read as Satan's name before his fall. Samael appears in rabbinic tradition as an angel of death and accuser.
• Milton, Paradise Lost (1667). Gave the fallen host a roll call of names borrowed from pagan gods and demons: Moloch, Belial, Mammon, Beelzebub and others.
• Modern fiction. Games, comics and novels add names that look old and aren't.

The Watchers of Enoch

Spellings follow common English translations; meanings are the usual scholarly readings of the Hebrew or Aramaic roots ("-el" means God).

Fallen angels in fiction: how the type shifts

Names are only half the character. Fallen-angel fiction tends to follow one of three models, and the model changes which names fit.

• The Watcher model (Enoch). Angels who descend by choice because they desire human life, and teach forbidden skills. The tone is tragic and curious. Names: Semjaza, Kokabiel, Baraqiel, Penemue.
• The rebel model (Milton). Angels who rebel against heaven and are cast out, proud and articulate in defeat. The tone is grand and bitter. Names: Lucifer, Beelzebub, Belial, Mammon, Moloch.
• The exile model (modern fantasy). An angel who left or was thrown out and now lives among people, carrying the old light in a worn form. The tone is tender and a little weary. Names are usually invented, soft and short: Cael, Vesper, Auriel.

For an adult monster-girl character, the exile model is the most popular. She is centuries old, she has lost something, she is capable and a little sad, and she is warm because she chooses to be. Her name should sound like a lamp turned low: Vespera, Elysia, Seraphine.

Names to avoid

• Real religious figures you are not meaning to portray. If you use a name like Gabriel or Michael, you are signalling a loyal archangel, not a fallen one.
• Names that carry modern meanings. Some old names have been used for real people in recent history. Check before you commit.
• Anything youthful-sounding. Fallen angels in this library are adult and ancient.

How to choose

1. Real or invented? Pick Semjaza or Kokabiel for authenticity; pick Veyra or Seraphine if you want to avoid borrowing the weight of a text.
2. Mind the ending. The "-el" suffix means "God" and gives instant angel flavour. Cutting it gives a darker, shorter name: Cael, Sari, Aza.
3. Match the mood. Lightning and star names (Baraqiel, Kokabiel) suit a bright, proud fallen one; abyss names (Abaddon, Mastema) suit a harsher one.
4. Say it. In audio, two syllables read best.

Where it fits in the library
