Raphael

Painted Vatican frescoes

Raphael is a Hebrew name meaning "God has healed," borne by an archangel in Jewish and Christian tradition.

The name's most famous bearer is the Italian Renaissance painter Raphael Sanzio (1483–1520), known for *The School of Athens* and numerous Madonnas.

Raphael also names one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles—the hot-tempered one with red bandana and twin sai.
