English term or phrase: fallen angel
an angel that was bad and got thrown out of heavan
ashley
Lucifer
Explanation:
Not sure if you mean it literally, i.e. the individual words 'fallen' + 'angel'. However, the angel thrown out of the sky was Lucifer, 'the bringer/maker of light' (lux=light in Latin, 'fer'=maker/bringer).
This is derived from the Hebrew:
Eykh nafalta m-shamayim, heylel ben-shahar; meaning How hast thou fallen from Heaven, cry Son of the Dawn.
This is often taken to mean the Devil, who was the Angel of Light but rebelled against God and became the Angel of Darkness.

angelus qui cecidit


Explanation:
In case you want the literal translation

angelus = angel (in nominative case, of course)
qui cecidit = (which has) fallen
