'el' does denote an angel, but only in Latin-based names. Not all names that end with 'el' are names of angels. Cornel, Gretel, Hazel and Mabel are examples.

78faba and you are mixing up Hebrew and Latin.
The Hebrew ending -el, present in some angels' names (Michael, Raphael, Gabriel), comes from 'el, abreviaton of Elohim, "God", used in last spot in the composition of given names.
The ending -el present in names from Latin origin (Marcel) in some languages , comes from the Latin -ellus, a diminutive suffix (in Latin there is not an ending el).
