History & Origin

Michaelene is a feminine of Michael, from the Hebrew for 'who is like God?' Like Micheline and Michaela, it belongs to the family of names that turned the ever-popular Michael into a daughter's name in the mid-twentieth century.

Michaelene crested around 1949 at roughly seventy girls a year and eased off through the later century, thinning by the nineteen-nineties. A Michaelene from the peak is in her mid-seventies now. It reads as a mid-century feminine form and has not revived.

Did you know? Mid-century parents wanting a girl's answer to Michael had several options — Michaela, Michele, Michaelene — and the -ene form gave the archangel's name an especially gentle, feminine close.
