About Mikhael
Mikhael is a masculine name that is a variation of Michael, one of the most enduring names throughout history. It comes from the Hebrew name Mikha'el, meaning 'who is like God?' The spelling Mikhael reflects the transliteration used in Russian, Ukrainian, and other Eastern European languages. This version maintains the original name's powerful religious connections—Michael appears in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions as an archangel—while offering a distinctive international flair. While less common than Michael in Western countries, Mikhael has gained some popularity among parents seeking a name with global appeal and traditional roots. The name carries a strong, dignified quality with its rich historical and multicultural associations.
Mikhael is also given to girls.
Pronounced mik-HAY-ul.
As of October 2026, Mikhael ranked #9929 in US births in 1991 SSA.
