Meaning: who resembles God?; gift from god

Though Michael is undoubtedly a classic name with biblical roots, its timeless style and versatility made it an ideal choice for millennial caregivers. A traditionally masculine name of Hebrew origin, this moniker means “who resembles God?” and “gift from god”. Not only can it be shortened to loads of charming nicknames, such as Mick, Mike, and Mickey, Michael is synonymous with notions of courage and victory. The biblical Michael is an archangel who banishes the devil from heaven. Of course, its religious connotations won’t be for everyone, but we think its age-defying charm makes it a worthy choice for your little one.
