I can find no record in Luke of Joseph being spoken to by an angel. The record in Matthew does not record the name of the angel, only that this angel spoke to Joseph; Matthew 1:20. The angelic appearance in Luke to a man is to Zachariah, John's father, and Gabriel was the angel who announced John's conception and birth.

Matthew Chapter 1 verse 24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the Angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: the term the Angel of the Lord can be used for itself Actually being God himself or an Angel sent by God to carry forth His will. It says the Angel of the Lord, The word "of" shows that it could be God or An Angel sent by God.

There are several Josephs in The Bible, but assuming we're talking about Mary's husband (Jesus' step-father) Joseph, he was visited twice by an unnamed angel. Once when he discovered Mary was pregnant (Matthew 1:18-25) and once after Jesus' birth, when escaping from Harod (Matthew 2:13-23). Scripturally, there are only two angels ever named, Michael and Gabriel, and the only angel who ever revealed his name in person, was Gabriel. He was used in communicating to Daniel twice, Zechariah (John the Baptizer's father) and to Mary (Jesus' mother), but no mention is officially made of who spoke to Joseph.
