Origin and meaning of Michail

Michail is the Greek form of Michael, from the Hebrew Mīkhāʾēl, a rhetorical question meaning 'Who is like God?' Given in honour of the Archangel Michael, leader of the heavenly hosts, it is a common name in Greece and Cyprus, often shortened to Míchos or Míkis. It blends biblical solemnity with warrior strength and is rooted in the Orthodox tradition; in its Greek spelling it stays characteristic of the Hellenic and Balkan region.
