The only way I can imagine someone would recognize it as an angel name is through the "-el" at the end, which means "belonging to or of God". But yet, it still doesn't quite make sense.

After all, I think you'd be hard pressed to find a mention of "Castiel", since I think it's based off "Cassiel".

Yeah, Wikipedia says (with a reference to a Misha Collins interview on YouTube) that Castiel was inspired by Cassiel. Though for the life of me I cannot begin to figure out why they had to add that "t". When he was first introduced, I thought they were just avoiding actual mythological angel names on purpose, but then all the Uriels and Raphaels started showing up and it never stopped bugging me.

I like the fact that their 'main' angel is one without any irl/mythological associations - it adds to the originality of the show and that way no one can mercilessly trawl source materials and discover potential plot points.

Actually, Castiel is mentioned in a couple of books about angels. He is named as an angel of Thursday in Pietro d'Abano's Heptameron and that's why he was chosen for SPN. At that time the show was airing on Thursdays.
