If I was able to choose my name (and not so attached to my current name) I would have named myself Uriel. It means God's light and carries some history with it (plus I am a Christian).

This name is very close to the English word “urine”. Please think about this before choosing the name Uriel.

You can add the usage of "Biblical Latin" to this name, for Uriel is also the form used in the Clementine Vulgate (1592) and the Nova Vulgata ("Neo-Vulgate", 1979). These two are respectively the former and current official Bible of the Roman Catholic Church.Sources used:

The names of archangels and how many there are varies among the different branches of Judaism and Christianity. Though Uriel is not an archangel according to Roman Catholic tradition, he is for Anglicans and most Eastern Orthodox Christians.

Uriel as an archangel is puzzling: There are only thought to be 3 (many biblical sources) and they are known: Gabriel (messenger), Raphael (healer) and Michael (warrior). So as Uriel has few biblical references and those put him in a messenger role (warns Noah of the flood) I wonder if there is a case for saying 'Uriel' may be another name for Gabriel? Or are there more Archangels or sub types of archangels?

Biblical names are usually beautiful, but it's fantastic. Maybe because it's still unique (like Nehemiah, Elisha or Mara).

Still used as a surname in Spain and those in Spanish-speaking countries descended from them or who adopted the name.I didn't understand the part about only in the apocrypha, that applies to the archangel part, but not to the name itself, which IS in the Bible (KJV):1 Chronicles 15:5
5 Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twenty:1 Chronicles 6:24
24 Tahath his son, Uriel his son, Uzziah his son, and Shaul his son.1 Chronicles 15:11
11 And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab, 2 Chronicles 13:2
2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

Uriel is one of the four archangels along with Gabriel, Raphael, and Michael.

Uriel isn't an archangel according to the Roman Catholic Church, only Gabriel, Michael, and Raphael are. Still, I consider him an archangel as many others do. (I'm not Catholic nor do I let them tell me what to think.) He's my guardian angel, maybe yours too if you're a Libra. Anyway, he's the "eyes of God" and is the angel of wisdom and the arts.
