Miguel

US Popularity Rank: 360

Origin: Spanish

Meaning: Who is like God

Miguel is the Spanish and Portuguese derivation of Michael and is a beautiful boy’s name that rolls easily off the tongue. In English, Spanish, and Portuguese, Miguel (and Michael) means “who is like God.” While this may seem like big shoes for baby to fill, it’s perfect if you want to raise baby in faith—or give him something to aspire to.
