Differnt words for angel

[chibiphonebooth]

im writing this piece for my short story class... and i was just wondering.. does anyone know any different words for angel?

liek..different languages.. or different terms.. etc?

[ZiP]

Guiding influence?
Guardian spirit?
Spiritual being also fits, but it's not very broad. These are just some thingsI found on dictionary.com. I'm not sure if there is another word for Angel or not though.

[Tenshi no Ai]

latin - angelus
japanese - tenshi

...as far as I can remember^^

[Syreth]

Mal'ak (mal-awk) is Hebrew for angel.

Aggelos (ang'-el-os) is Greek for angel.

Hooray for E-Sword!

Also, it seems like it could be renered "messenger," or "ambassador" if that helps.

[Zarn Ishtare]

Seraphim? Cheribum? Wheels? Powers? Thrones? Authorities? Princes?



Yeah?

[Kiba-kun]

Winged Messenger

[MomoAdachi]

What about "heavenly host"?

[Mr. SmartyPants]

How about seraph?

[chibiphonebooth]

im trying to figure out a name for a girl, who is an angel for my story.

Seraph sounds kinda cool. ^.^

Seraph isn't much of a name. But Seraphim is! (Also a character from megatokyo) But I guess you can still use Seraph for a name ^^

[Zarn Ishtare]

Seraphim means "Burning One", Cheribum means "One Who Covers" (Rough, ROUGH translation)

[Yeshua-Knight]

chibi, something you might also consider for a name is perhaps looking at the meaning of angels that are in the bible, then finding names in other languages that have the same meaning

[chibiphonebooth]

good idea.

If I remember right, Sephiroth's name meant God's Wrath. But I doubt you should use that one. Too many people know it as an evil name.
Anyway, there are three archangels named in the Bible: Gabriel, Michael, and Raphael. Uriel is also mentioned, but in apocalyptic works.

[Mave]

if you're interested in different languages, I have two to offer:

Malaikat (Malay/Indonesian)
Tenshi/Tianshi (Japanese/Chinese)

don't forget lucifer, the name of satan before he fell

[Mr. SmartyPants]

Angel in Korean is this: 천사

Which is pronounced "Chun Sa"

[Slater]

Nephilim is an interesting one

[Yeshua-Knight]

mmmmm, as i recall, the term nephilim isn't actually in reference to any sort of spiritual messenger, but rather the children that were desended from the "sons of God" and "daughters of men" as stated in genesis prior to the worldwide flood

[Slater]

oh, that's right. NM, Nephilim is actually a word that refers to humans (ie, the decendants of Anak in Numbers and the Sethites in Genesis)

[chibiphonebooth]

for some reason, one site 'japanese translator.co.uk' says that angel means 'Enjaru'.

...but another says Tenshi...

*is confused*

[Lynx]

angel is tenshi in japanese

french- ange

german- engal

[jon0]

Seraphim is the plural form of the word so if you go with anything I would go with Seraph. Just a suggestion.

[Mega.EXE]

ooh i know one Bob!!!! yay!

[Sammy Boy]

for some reason, one site 'japanese translator.co.uk' says that angel means 'Enjaru'.

Enjaru is probably the derived word for angels from English into Japanese, since it sounds like 'angel'.

[Yeshua-Knight]

as i recall the term "angel" translates to english as "messenger" so perhaps what you should look for is the japanese term for messenger

That's because it's a name translator XD to get a name to be spelled in Japanese
