A masculine given name of Hebrew origin, commonly used in Scandinavian and European countries.
From Hebrew 'Mikha'el' meaning 'who is like God,' composed of 'mi' (who), 'ka' (like), and 'el' (God). The name entered European languages through Christian tradition as the name of the archangel Michael.
This name appears across cultures—Michael in English, Michel in French, Mikhail in Russian—each one tracing back to the same Hebrew question posed thousands of years ago about an archangel.
