The name Selaphiel is a boy's name of Hebrew origin meaning "I have asked God; prayer of God".

Also known as Shealtiel, Selathiel, and Salathiel, this is the name of one of seven Archangels in Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic traditions. Often described as the patron saint of prayer, he is said to help those who are distracted or insincere when praying.
 
From Shealtiel, the name means "I have asked God", though others interpret that name as meaning "prayer of God". While Selaphiel (the Archangel) doesn't appear in the Bible, he features in a 6th-century Christian text called The Conflict of Adam and Eve in which is is sent to rescue Adam and Eve from the serpent's deceptions. Some Christians also believe that Selaphiel is mentioned in the New Testament, in Revelations when an unnamed angel is seen to present prayers from earth to God. 
 
Similar to Selah, Samuel, Solomon, and Seth, along with the likes of Castiel, Azrael, and similar, Selpahiel is also associated with protecting children, the interpretation of dreams, and music in heaven. Yet to make the US charts, it would make for a bold choice.
