Default Real World Name Origins?

So I've been running down origins of Celestial names from the real world. Michael, Gabriel, Lawrence, etc., readily identifiable as names of RW Archangels and Saints. Janus, old Celtic god of changes or something like that, I think. Furfur, shortened version of the demon Furcifer. Haagenti was there, but I don't recall as what. I have a few trails for Kobal that lead to some surprising ends (probably should have expected that!), but others are leading seemingly nowhere. In the original French game, Saminga is Samigina, and I know links have been made to Zamedi, but I'm not sure.

Is there a list of the real-world origins of the Celestial names used in the game?
