Origin and meaning of Michela
Michela is the feminine of Michele, from the Hebrew Mîkhā'ēl, a rhetorical question meaning 'Who is like God?' — the cry of the archangel Michael against pride. A strong, spiritual name, it is very common in Italy, while abroad the forms Michelle, Michaela and Micaela prevail. It is loved for its sound, at once firm and gentle, and for its link to an angelic figure of protection and courage.
