Meaning: Who is like God?

If you're tired of the popular spelling of Michael, and Michel isn’t quite doing it for you, then how about changing it up with American Mykel. This lovely name has Hebrew origins and can be given to boys and girls, so you can even honor the special Michael in your life regardless of gender. Mykel means “who is like God?” making it a discreetly faithful choice. For Weezer fans, you might’ve recognized this name from their song “Mykel and Carli.”
