Why do all the names of angels except Lucifer end with the letters 'el' ?

Answer 1

The suffix el on the end of a name means "of god". Naturally a lot of angels would have this suffix on their names, but by no stretch of the imagination is Lucifer the only one who doesn't. Here's a list of some of the names: http://www.lowchensaustralia.com/names/angels.htm
You'll see a lot of els, yes, but not nearly all. Lucifer means light-bearer, by the way.

Answer 2

What about Bubba, the angel? His name doesn't end in EL

Answer 3

'el is one of the Hebrew words for God. For example, the name Isra-el means struggles with God. Bet-el (or Bethel) house of God, etc.

BTW, Lucifer is actually a latin name that Jerome used in his latin translation of the Bible.

Answer 4

there are a whole heck of a lot more angels than those that are just mentioned in the Bible, such as the heavenly host that appeared to the shepherds in Luke 2. the Bible didnt say all their names.
