Yes. He was a minor character. Though where Milton got inspiration for the name is unclear. Some sources claim the name appears in the Book of Enoch. But As of yet no known translation or version where the name is found has been identified at least to my knowledge.
In the Bible it appears in various spellings. Though not as the name of an angel. But rather a personal name. Or referring to physical objects or parts of objects.
The name appears intermittently in various other Christian and otherwise mystic and occult texts. That were published in Milton’s lifetime. The name in those texts is attributed as the name of both Rebels and Loyalist Angels.
