History & Origin
Mitchael is a respelled Michael, the Hebrew name meaning 'who is like God?', likely nudged by the surname Mitchell, a medieval form of the same name. The rearranged letters are an American variation, and the sense belongs entirely to the parent Michael.
It was never common, given to only about fifteen boys a year even at its peak around 1960, and it stayed a rarity throughout. A boy named Mitchael then is in his mid-sixties today, a variant spelling of a mid-century favorite.
