I've heard people talk about angels in the Bible and some of them I've never heard of them. I'm a Christian and I only use the King James Version of the Bible. So I checked for myself and found, there are only 4 angels that are named by name:
1. Michael, the arch angel.
Jude 9
9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
2. Gabriel. Despite rumors, the Bible never refers to Gabriel as an arch angel.
Luke 1:19
19 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.
3. Lucifer/Satan. He is a fallen angel.
Isaiah 14:12
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
4. Abaddon/Apollyon. The book "Pilgrim's Progress" gives an inaccurate description of this angel.
Revelation 9:11
11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
