There are three explicitly named archangels according to the new testament. These are Gabriel, Michael and Raphael who identifies himself in Tobit 12:15 - For I am the Angel Raphael, one of seven, who stand before the Lord. The book of enoch defines the others as Uriel, Raguel, Sariel and Jerahmeel. These are, therefore, often cited as the seven archangels according to Catholicism.

There are several different versions and translations of the Bible. Michael is the only angel explicitly described as an archangel. Gabriel is also generally considered an archangel even though he is never directly called one. Some versions of the Bible, most notably the Catholic canon, included the Book of Tobit which features Raphael. Uriel is feature in the Book of Enoch, which appears in the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible. These two are both widely considered archangels. Enoch also features Raguel, Zerachiel and Remiel as the additional archangels. However, this is not a definitive list. Because different denominations of Christians have different versions of the Bible and different ways of interpreting it, there is no one answer for this. Some religions (Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Othodox) refer to Gabriel as an archangel in the bible. In fact whenever he is mentioned he is mentioned as the archangel Gabriel. These religions also refer to Raphael as an archangel in their respective Bibles.

Archangels are superior or higher-ranking angels. Archangels are found in a number of religious traditions, including Islam, Judaism and Zoroastrianism. In Biblical Christianity, the only archangel ever clearly named as being of the order is Michael.The New Testament rarely speaks of angels, and makes only two references to archangels: Michael in Jude 1.9 and I Thessalonians 4:16, where the "voice of an archangel" will be heard at the return of Christ. Contrary to popular belief, Gabriel is never called 'archangel' in the Gospels.In later Church tradition, however, there are three archangels: Michael, Gabriel, and usually Raphael; sometimes Uriel is given as a fourth. Eastern Orthodox tradition mentions "thousands of archangels" but venerates only seven of them by name. Uriel is included, and the other three are most often named Selaphiel, Jegudiel, and Barachiel.Sometimes Satan (named Satanel in the Book of Enoch) is considered a fallen archangel whose original name was Lucifer.Some Protestants view Michael as the sole archangel, as the only one explicitly described as such in the Protestant canon of the Bible.In art, archangels are usually depicted with larger wings and many eyes. Some of the more commonly represented archangels are Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, Metatron, Uriel, and Satanel.

Jhudel is one of seven archangels of the Orthodox tradition but is not recognized by the Catholic Church. If he is, indeed, and angel, he would not have had an earthly birth. The Catholic Church recognizes only those archangels mentioned in scripture - Michael, Gabriel and Raphael.
Angels do not have surnames.
Archangel Jhudiel is believed to be an archangel in some Christian traditions, associated with mercy, compassion, and forgiveness. Jhudiel is sometimes considered one of the seven archangels alongside Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Selaphiel, and Barachiel. However, it's important to note that archangel Jhudiel is not recognized in all Christian denominations.

they can take on any form they desireRoman Catholic AnswerArchangels are spirits and thus do not possess bodies; i.e. they don't "look" like anything. God does allow archangels to take a visible form when they appear to men. Until we get to talk to Tobit or the Blessed Virgin, we will never know what appearance God granted them.

In Christian tradition, angels are typically considered to be genderless spiritual beings rather than having a specific gender. Therefore, Saint Jhudiel, as an angelic figure, is not generally associated with a specific gender.
Marachiel is not traditionally recognized as one of the seven archangels in most mainstream Christian and Jewish texts. Different religious traditions may have varying opinions on the hierarchy and names of archangels.
7 is an important number in Judaism representing wholeness and completeness - so it probably isn't coincidental that there are 7 archangels and 7 days (and 7 Noahide commandments etc.). Some orthodox churches link the archangels with days of the week, but there doesn't seem to be much of a reason behind that.
