Hello I am new here, and this is my first post.

I am working on a Fantasy novel, which focus on a Winged Human race. However I can't think a good name for the race...

In my story setting those winged human are descendant of angels, so the name "angel" cannot be used on them. (Unlike the 'True angel', they are mortal, just like human or elves or dwarves or whatever.)

Besides that, harpies is already in my novel as a different race, so I can't name them "harpy" either...they also don't look like harpy anyway.

The only name close enought that I found are Avariel (from Dungeon and Dragon, but they are elves.) and Arteias (from Lineage, a korean-made MMORPG Game), and I don't think I can use those names.

Anyone can give me a suggestion?
