History & Origin

Mischelle is a spelling of Michelle, the French feminine of Michael, from the Hebrew for 'who is like God.' It appeared as families personalized the surging Michelle and peaked around 1966, always a small minority form.

A Mischelle from the peak is now in her late fifties. Michelle itself reads as a mid-century-through-80s classic, and this decorative spelling as a period variant; the standard form is the one parents choose today.

Did you know? Mischelle appeared just as Michelle was becoming one of the era's biggest names, one of several respellings — Michele, Mishell, Mischelle — riding that wave.
