The word deva in Sanskrit refers to a powerful beings. Devas can be detected by people who have developed certain sensory powers, but to most of us they are invisible. However they are not enlightened yet and are still caught in samsare (the cycle of life, death and rebirth), but due to good karma, they have been born into the most pleasant realm of life. They have the power to manifest themselves in beings of the lower world. They tend to have a variety of supernatural powers. In pre-Buddhist Tibet the animalistic religion called Bon prevailed, and it was thought that spirits inhabit all manner of things from mountains and rivers to barley, and the presence of devas in Buddhist cosmology might be an extension of that older belief in spirits.

What are the names of the devas in Buddhism?
According to Theravada Buddhism, there is no got, it means the founder of Buddhism is neither got nor man, he was born as a siddhartha Gautam, the son of Suddhodhana and Mahamayadevi in Lumbini park, today known as Nepal. let me explain the word Buddhism, the Buddhism come from root of "Buddh" which means "to know", so the root Buddh + ism become Buddhism. it is clear that the Buddhism is created by enlightenment who is known as Gautam Buddha. The followers of the Buddhism knew only the Buddha but he is not a got and not a man.So i according my experence in Theravada Buddhism there is not got names in Buddhism. But in Mahayana Buddhism there is got names but i don't know what are they........................

Does Buddhism believe in angels?
Sort of. But strictly speaking, no. In theistic religions, angels could be thought of as non-material servants in God's hierarchy. Since Buddhism is non-theistic, it does not have a hierarchy of beings reporting to God.There are devas, non-material celestial beings whose existence is heavenly. Deva is often translated as god, but could also be translated as angel, though neither translation is perfect. Devas are not regarded as servants in God's hierarchy, so to call them angels would not be fully correct, but they are the closest thing to angels in Buddhism.

Are Buddhists poltheistic?
Difficult question. Strictly speaking, the answer is yes. In Hinduism, gods were called devas. In Buddhism, these devas appear in the Tipitika, but they are not very important and they are not immortal.Some might think that this is similar to Christians who do not consider themselves polytheists even though they worship a three part god, have angels (of several types), a devil, as well as saints who have supernatural powers, but this is debatable.
What are the names of the major prophets according to Hinduism Buddhism and Shintoism?

According to the Tipitika (the Buddhist canon), the founder of Buddhism, the Buddha, arrived with advance knowledge by the Gods of the 33 and attained enlightenment.
