Patronymic surname meaning 'son of Mikkel', the Danish colloquial form of Michael, from the Hebrew Mikha'el, meaning 'Who is like God?' — a rhetorical question affirming God's incomparability. Mikkel was a popular informal given name in Denmark throughout the medieval and early modern periods, used alongside the more formal Michael in ecclesiastical settings. The name is associated with the fox Mikkel in Danish folklore. Approximately 34,000 Danes carry this surname.
