Or... maybe they're just referencing similar things?

The author named another character Armin. Like the Attack on Titan character. Coincidence? I think not.

Just an FYI, Armin's a real name that existed long before AoT.

What's this from?

You know that Castiel is an actual name, right?

(Anonymous) 2018-06-13 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
It means Shield of God. It doesn't appear in the Bible, but it has been around since the 13th Century and there are texts that say he is the angel that presides over Thursdays. So, maybe they like Thursdays? Unlike some, who can never get the hang of them.

Yeah, it was super popular in my high school. There were 3 in my history class one year and we gave them all nicknames so we wouldn't have to keep calling them "Castiel S.," "Castiel R." and "Castiel C." Seriously, who names their kid Castiel Castielson? So Castiel S. was Cas, Castiel R. was Tiel, and Castiel C. was Dave. Those were the days....

My high school just had a crap-ton of guys named Matt. We called them by their last names.

My school had 3 Christophers. So there was 'Chris', 'Topher', and 'Beans' because we'd used up all of Christopher.

Not true! Castiel is a mis-spelling of Cassiel, (which does mean Shield of God, has been around since the 13th Century and presides over Thursday etc). One dictionary of angels listed it with the alternative spelling of "Castiel" and Supernatural picked it up. So pretty much any use of the Cast- spelling is either from that one dictionary or from Supernatural.

ayrt

No, Cassiel means Speed of God.

Castiel is an angel named in Peter de Abano’s “Heptameron, or Magical Elements” and in subsequent occult tomes.

He is mentioned there as an angel governing the day Thursday, which places him in the sphere of Jupiter, or on the 4th Sephirah on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life (Chesed -"Kindness/Compassion") and all things related.

He is often confused with the angels Cassiel or Kaftziel, who are better known in the literature. Some believe “Castiel” refers to one of the above, and was a mistake on de Abano’s part.

Regardless of whether it was a mistake or if in fact de Abano wrote Heptameron, or Magical Elements (it's attributed, but some people think that claim spurious), the name "Castiel" appears in text in the 13th century alongside Cassiel, who is an angel of Saturday, which makes sense, since he is considered the angel of Saturn.
