The English word "angel" comes from a Greek word that literally means "messenger." In that sense, all angels are messenger angels by definition.
There are two (three if you're Catholic) angels specifically given names in The Bible: Michael and Gabriel. (The Catholic Bible adds Raphael, in the Book of Tobit; most Protestant sects do not accept Tobit as canonical). While all of these can be considered messengers of a sort, Gabriel is the one most associated with the function of "delivering messages", since he is the one who announces to Mary that she will give birth to Jesus (Michael is clearly more of a warrior, and Raphael, whose name means "God heals" in Hebrew, is rather unsurprisingly associated with healing).
Other religions, and some at least nominally Christian sects, may have others. For example, the winged figure with the Trumpet on top of some Latter Day Saint temples is supposed to represent an angel by the name of Moroni.
