History & Origin
Michalle is a variant spelling of Michelle, the French feminine of Michael, whose Hebrew root mikha'el asks 'who is like God?' The odd a is a record-keeping quirk rather than a separate name. It appears from the late 1950s and reached a small high around 1968.
A girl named Michalle then would be in her fifties now, right in the Michelle generation that made the standard spelling a top name. Michalle itself was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year, and has faded; parents choose Michelle instead.
