Origin: Romanian

Meaning: Of Michael; Who resembles God?

Like leaves in the wind, Mihai flutters from the lips as a lighthearted Romanian name for boys. A form of the Hebrew Michael, Mihai inherits the religious definition “who resembles God?” and carries on a legacy of Michael-inspired names. Not to be underestimated for its carefree chime, Mihai is worthy of high-minded figures—including the last king of Romania, Mihai I, and Mihai the Brave, a 17th-century prince of Wallachia and Moldovia. Parents seeking an honorable namesake for baby to look up to will find many with handsome Mihai.
