• First two letters of your last name
• First vowel of your first name
• Third letter of your middle name (or parent’s first name if you don’t have a middle name
• Last consonant of your last name
• Add IEL or EL to the end!

Ok but that looks like some ill-advised alien race from Star Trek or … I don’t know. But it’s not good.

Deovriel sounds like a Dr Who villain.

I know I’m not supposed to take this seriously, but… the reason angel names all end in -el or -iel is because “el” is Hebrew for God and the names are all about something God did or does or is. Michael means “who is like God?”, Gabriel means “God is my strength,” Raphael means “God healed,” etc. The reason God comes at the end rather than the beginning of the name is that Biblical Hebrew is a VSO (verb-subject-object) language and also has no copula, so predicate nouns/adjectives sometimes function as verbs.

So the way to make your actual angel name is to find out what your real name means, translate it into Hebrew, and find a way to put God into it. For example, my (not real) name is Phil, which is the Greek root meaning “love.” My Biblical Hebrew is a little rusty, but I think I could angel-name-generate that into Ahavel (God loved), Ohevel (God loves), Ahaviel (God has loved me), or Oheviel (possibly “God loves me” but possibly also “God is my lover,” so maybe not).

People who are better with Biblical Hebrew than I am are welcome to correct me.
