Camael, also spelled Chamuel, Khamuel, Camiel, Cameel and Camniel, is an archangel in Christian angelology.
Camael was excluded from the Holy See's list of named angels in the 2001 Directory on popular piety, which states: "The practice of assigning names to the Holy Angels should be discouraged, except in the cases of Gabriel, Raphael, and Michael whose names are contained in Holy Scripture".[1]
