Hi, DementiaNocturne. The resource I use for the names of Angels and Archangels is A Dictionary of Angels: Including the Fallen Angels by Gustav Davidson (New York: The Free Press, 1967). "A work of remarkable scholarship, the fruit of some 15 years of research in Talmudic, gnostic, cabalistic, apocalyptic, patristic, and legendary texts, among works of art and the range of literature..." -- The Wall Street Journal
The name "Alister" is a variant of "Alistair," which in turn is an Anglicized spelling of the Scottish "Alasdair." This is a Gaelic form of "Alexander," a historically popular name in Scotland, having been the name of three medieval Scottish kings. The name "Alexander" is of Greek origin, meaning "defender of men."

Murrey de l'Angelbourne
Murrey: derived from the regional name of "Moray" in northeastern Scotland, which in turn is derived from Celtic elements meaning "sea settlement."
