Herkunft & Geschichte

Derived from the Hebrew personal name Mikha'el, meaning 'Who is like God?' — a rhetorical question implying that no one is equal to God. The Archangel Michael's cult gave the name immense popularity throughout medieval France, and the Mont-Saint-Michel pilgrimage site made it particularly resonant as a French cultural and religious symbol.
