Only Michael is specifically referred to in The Bible as an 'archangel'....Jude 1 v9, 1 Thessalonians 4 v16. (Other traditions and the apocryphal books regard others as archangels, namely Gabriel, Uriel and Raphael with many more in Greek Orthodoxy). In the Bible, Gabriel, the angel who announced the birth of Christ in the Bible, is labelled simply as an 'angel' rather than an 'archangel'.
Some believe that by reading scriptures we learn that Michael is actually Jesus, Michael is Jesus' heavenly name, that Jehovah (Psalm 83:18) gave him. However, this is speculation and not borne out in scripture at all.
