If Angels have no gender, why do most of the angels mentioned in the Bible have male names?
I don't actually know for sure but I could ume that, since there is an angel language mentioned in the bible, that their actual names could not be pronounced or recongnised by humans. Therefore, they had to use names from that time on Earth. Most Hebrew names back then weren't actually gender specific like they are today, although there definately were more masculine and more feminine names. Either, in translation, we have confused the names for more male names or they simply took on male names because the society at the time tended to recognise male leadrship more I don't know. Of course, these are all guesses but they seem to make sense to me.
