History & Origin

Mikkos is a Greek-styled name in the Michael family, related to short forms like Mikos beside the fuller Mihail; Michael itself is Hebrew for 'who is like God?' Its brief appearance in United States records around the early nineteen-eighties lines up with a memorable character of the name on American television, a likely spur to its use. Mikkos has always been rare.

Mikkos appears for American boys mainly around nineteen-eighty-one, given to only about fifteen a year at its peak and never common. A boy named Mikkos then would be in his mid-forties today.
