History & Origin
Michaelina is a feminine elaboration of Michael, whose Hebrew root Mikhael poses the question 'who is like God?' The -ina ending, common in Latin and Italian naming, turns the archangel's name into a graceful woman's name.
It was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its peak around 1921, with scattered records across the century. A girl named Michaelina then would belong to a great-grandparent's generation today.
