Michael ( Hebrew מיכאל Micha'el or Mîkhā’ēl, Latin Michael or Míchaël) is an archangel mentioned in the Book of Revelation 12:7; in the Hebrew Bible Michael is only mentioned by name in the Persian context of the post-Exilic Book of Daniel.

(but literally "El's Likeness")" (compare the late prophet Micah), but according to Rabbi Simeon ben Lakish (230-270 CE), all the specific names for the angels were brought back by the Jews from Babylon, and many modern commentators would agree. ...more on Wikipedia about "Michael (archangel)"
