Real World Name Origins?

Hieronymus Bosch painted St. Christopher Carrying the Christ Child - this is the best justification I've been able to find for the name of the Archangel of Children.

Wikipedia says "Zadkiel was said to be the Angel who prevented Abraham from sacrificing his son, Isaac."

As mentioned in his Superiors writeup, Mammon is named in the King James version of Matthew 6:24.

A couple of names come from the Book of Tobit:
"And Raphael was sent to heal them both, that is, to scale away the whiteness of Tobit's eyes, and to give Sara the daughter of Raguel for a wife to Tobias the son of Tobit; and to bind Asmodeus the evil spirit; because she belonged to Tobias by right of inheritance."
- Tobit 3:17a

And, despite what Mammon claims, another Prince is mentioned in the New Testament:
"And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many."
- Mark 5:9

Have we missed any Superiors?
