History & Origin
Michole looks like a merger of Michelle and Nichole, two staples of its decade, folded into one distinctive spelling. It never caught on, reaching a small high around 1981.
Given to only about twenty girls a year at most, it stayed a rare personal variant and had faded by the early nineteen-nineties. A girl named Michole at that peak would be in her forties today. The spelling can mislead readers, which is why the audio uses the respelling.
