History & Origin

Michaell is a variant spelling of Michael, from Hebrew Mikha'el — 'who is like God?'. Michael appears in Scripture as an archangel and protector, and the name has been among the most-used boys' names in the English-speaking world for centuries, reshaped everywhere from Miguel to Mikhail to Michal. The doubled L is a modern spelling variant, which we note (said 'MY-kuhl').

It appears rarely for boys in the U.S. Rare spelling of an all-time classic.

Did you know? Michael isn't a statement but a question: Hebrew Mikha'el asks 'who is like God?' — a name given to the archangel who leads the heavenly host. Michaell simply doubles the L (said 'MY-kuhl').
