Micheal is a spelling variant of Michael, the Hebrew name that means "who is like God?", a rhetorical question borne by the archangel who leads the heavenly armies. The e-before-a spelling is also the Irish Gaelic form, Mícheál, though in America it is usually simply an alternative way to write the classic. In the United States Micheal ranked number 302 in 2000, fell out of the top 1000 in 2018 and stands at number 1406 in 2025.
