Meaning & Etymology
Michahel is a variant form of the name Michael, primarily used in some versions of the Vulgate, a late 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. The name Michael itself originates from the Hebrew name מִיכָאֵל (Mikha'el), meaning 'Who is like God?'. Michahel, while less common, carries the same theological and cultural significance, often associated with the archangel Michael in Christian, Jewish, and Islamic traditions.
