Mychael

Meaning of Mychael

Mychael is a male given name, a variant of the Hebrew Michael—meaning “Who is like God?”—that strikes a balance between tradition and individuality through its distinctive spelling. Pronounced MY-kayl (/maɪˈkeɪl/), it recalls the archangelic figure while avoiding the widespread usage of its conventional counterpart. U.S. Social Security records trace its emergence in 1972 with five newborns (rank 661), a peak of 83 in 1989 (rank 670), and a gradual decline to eight in 2023 (rank 921). Though it has never matched the popularity of the classic form, Mychael’s steady, if modest, presence underscores an enduring appeal rooted in deliberate choice rather than mass adoption.
