Mykhailo

Meaning of Mykhailo

Mykhailo is a distinguished male name of Ukrainian origin, celebrated for its rich cultural heritage and traditional roots. It is the Ukrainian variant of the name Michael, which means "who is like God?"—a rhetorical question highlighting the incomparability of God in many monotheistic religions. Pronounced as mih-KHAI-lo (/mɪˈxaɪlo/), this name carries with it a sense of strength and timelessness. Although not very common in the United States, with only six newborns named Mykhailo in 2023 ranking it at 10,779, it remains a popular choice within Ukrainian communities and among those appreciating unique cultural names. The name Mikhail serves as an alternative variation, expanding its appeal across different linguistic backgrounds.
