origin of name Saichel
I am interested in this name. I have seen it only once with the given meaning "Angel of the water" It is pronounced Satchel. I do not know the gender but assume it is male. There was not an ethnicity listed either. I would be greatful for any thoughts or info.

"Satchel" is a name shared by both one of the great African-American baseball players, Satchel Paige, and Woody Allen's son, who was named after Satchel Paige.Spelled "Sachel" and pronounced "SAY-kel", this is a Yiddish word meaning "understanding, common sense, good judgement".Spelled "Sachiel", it is a name meaning "covering of God". According to *A Dictionary of Angels: Including Fallen Angels* by Gustav Davidson, Sachiel is "an angel of the order of hashmaillim (cherubim). Sachiel is resident of the 1st Heaven (in some sources, the 6th Heaven). He is a Monday (or Thursday or Friday) angel, invoked from the south (also from the west). In addition, he is a presiding spirit of the planet Jupiter. In poetic lore, he is called a servitor of the 4 sub-princes of the infernal empire."-- Nanaea

Thank you so very much Nanaea, especially for the correct spelling and Angel definition. I wish I could find from where the reference to water comes.......It is probably incorrect, that's why I'm not getting anywere. Any other suggestions for masculine names relating to the water or the sea?
