Michaelangelo

US Popularity Rank: 11298

Origin: Italian

Meaning: Who is like God; Messenger

If you are running out of faith that you will find the perfect baby name, why not consider Michaelangelo? This Italian masculine moniker has roots in Hebrew, and is a respelling of the classic Michelangelo—which is most famously connected to the Sistine Chapel artist. Etymologically derived from Michael, which means “who is like God,” and Angelo, which means “messenger,” it can serve as a subtle but powerful connection to baby’s heritage and culture. With so much inspiration to draw from this name, little Mike will no doubt love this choice!
