The degree of punishment will be commensurate with one's sin against the light which one has received.
One good passage that indicated degrees of punishment is Luke 12:47-48: "That servant who know his master's will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be BEATEN WITH MANY BLOWS. But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be BEATEN WITH FEW BLOWS. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked". Other verses on this issue include MAT 10:15; 16:27; Rev. 20:12,13; 22:12.
Jesus affirmed that the wicked "will go away to ETERNAL punishment, but the righteous to ETERNAL life" (Mat 25:46)

The Bible doesn't name any levels of hell. However, it does say that people will be judged according to their deeds.
Revelation 20:11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them.
12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds.

I rewrote my question "Have I the right" because of Y censors, so you are welcome back
Regarding Dante, you have 9 levels of Hell defined as
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dante's_Inferno
to wich you have to add G.W. BU(ll)SH(it)'s brain where are lost the victims of his wars waiting for the death of this Monster and their entry in the Purgatory
A majority of the Popes and abusing priests are in the 5th circle with the simonists, the kings and emperors.
By the way, Hell is a pure invention of catholics to frighten the poors in mind and oblige them to obey.
The origin of Hell is a mix of
Gue-Hinom of the Jews who was a place in the Valley of the Kedron where a permanent fire of tar and sulfur was used to burn the body of born-dead childs, foreigners, executed poeple
and
The Underground Work aka Hades because the first non-jewish christians were pagans.
There is no hell in the jewish liturgy, this is why so many of them are lawyers, attorneys, judges, accountants,... (joke)

I'm not sure if they have names, but they are according to the sin (On earth they are the same upon the eyes of God, but in Hell, they are different).
