"Michael", it would seem.

An angel shared with Daniel some remarkable information about a princely spirit being, using much of the same unique imagery that later applies to Jesus.

(Daniel 12:1-2) Michael will stand up, the great prince who is standing in behalf of the sons of your people. And there will certainly occur a time of distress such as has not been made to occur since there came to be a nation until that time. And during that time your people will escape, every one who is found written down in the book. And there will be many of those asleep in the ground of dust who will wake up [compare Dan 10:20,21]

(Matt 24:3-21,30,31) What will be the sign of your presence...?" And in answer Jesus said to them: "...All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress. ...for then there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world's beginning until now... And then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in lamentation, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send forth his angels with a great trumpet sound, and they will gather his chosen ones together


Other Scriptures discuss the unique role of Jesus/Michael with regard to punishing the original serpent Satan.

Most Christians are mostly familiar with the concept that Jesus Christ the primary "Seed" who defeats Satan. The Millennial Rule begins with Satan's abyssing, performed by Christ Jesus, and no mere subsidiary. Thus, when Revelation 12:7-9 tells us that "Michael" performs this work, Jehovah's Witnesses are convinced that "Michael" is simply another name for Jesus, just as "Immanuel", "Sprout", "David", and "The Word" are additional names of Jesus (see Matt 1:23 ["Immanuel"]; Zech 6:12 ["Sprout", "Branch", or "Shoot"]; Ezek 37:24,25 ["David"]; Rev 19:13 ["The Word of God"]).

(Genesis 3:15) He [the Seed of God's woman] will bruise you [the original serpent Satan] in the head

(Revelation 12:7-9) Michael and his angels battled with the dragon... So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan

(Revelation 20:1-3) And I saw an angel... And he seized the dragon, the original serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. And he hurled him into the abyss

(Revelation 20:6-7) Rule as kings with [Christ] for the thousand years.


Almost comically, the same persons who insist that Jesus cannot have another name tend to be the same persons who pretend that Jesus is also called Jehovah.

One last point is that only two names are associated in the bible with the term "archangel": Michael and Jesus.
...(Jude 9) Michael the archangel had a difference with the Devil
...(1 Thessalonians 4:14-16) Jesus died and rose again, so, too... the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel's voice

I'm not certain there is any other answer than what is found in John 1:1 - The Word. I just read 3 versions of Psalm 110 and found no clue as to a "name of Jesus" before incarnation.

Originally this Psalm spoke of the kingly line of David in Jerusalem, with God's chosen king sitting (as it were) by the very side of Jehovah himself. But with the eclipse of the Davidic dynasty, Psalm 110 was re-interpreted by the Jews to refer to the coming Messiah. By the 1st century A.D. this was accepted.

Jesus echoed this understanding by challenging Jewish leaders to show that on the basis of their own understanding, Messiah had a higher standing than they were prepared to admit (Mark 12:35-37 & Mat 26:64). The apostles freely applied Ps 110:1 to Jesus and his exaltation in heven. Ps 110 is the most frequently cited / alluded to text in the New Testament (Acts 2:34, 1 Cor 15:25, Eph 1:20, Col 3:1, 1 Pet 3:22). The writer to the Hebrews also developed the application of verse 4 to Christ's exercise of a heavenly, non-Aaronic priesthood after his sacrifice at Calvary (Heb 1:3, 13; 5:6-10, 6:20 - 10:21).

All this squares nicely with John 1:1 where the apostle John identifies Christ as the Word of God, who was with God in the beginning (at his right hand) and who is God (ruling over his enemies). This would help explain the conundrum of Jehovah (the LORD) saying to David's Lord (the Messiah) to sit beside Jehovah. Obviously, this could not mean David sitting on heaven's throne. But if the Word has always shared the same heavenly throne in triunity, then became man and returned to heaven, it all begins to take shape.

Christ's name before birth was Jehovah.
