Luke is called an evangelist because he was the author of one of the Gospels as well as of the Acts of the Apostles.
St. Luke is the patron saint of artists, while St. Luke the Evangelist is often invoked as the patron saint of doctors and physicians.

The evangelist Luke, was not among the Apostles during the Passover meal - aka the Last Supper. He would later travel with Paul and write his Gospel and the Book of Acts.
I believe that would be Saint Luke. Throughout the Bible you will find people referred to by one name. That is not just a Bibilical practise. In older times and in some Eastern countries you were known by a name and your Father's name. Sometimes they used a place to distinguish who/where they were from. For example, Saul was called Saul of Tarsus. So, Luke is only referred to as Luke. "Saint" or "Apostle" is an office title.
