MICHAEL

GENDER: Masculine
USAGE: English, German, Czech, Biblical, Biblical Latin
PRONOUNCED: MIE-kəl (English), MI-khah-el (German) [key]
Meaning & History
From the Hebrew name מִיכָאֵל (Mikha'el) meaning "who is like God?". This is a rhetorical question, implying no person is like God. Saint Michael is one of the seven archangels in Hebrew tradition and the only one identified as an archangel in the Bible. In the Book of Revelation in the New Testament he is portrayed as the leader of heaven's armies, and thus is considered the patron saint of soldiers.
The popularity of the saint led to the name being used by nine Byzantine emperors, including Michael VIII Palaeologus who restored the empire in the 13th century. It has been common in Western Europe since the Middle Ages, and in England since the 12th century. It has been borne (in various spellings) by rulers of Russia (spelled Михаил), Romania (Mihai), Poland (Michał), and Portugal (Miguel). Other more modern bearers of this name include the British chemist/physicist Michael Faraday (1791-1867) and basketball player Michael Jordan (1963-).

Godfather. not found

comebackgirl

None of the pieces of my name exist in their format. My first name is a variation on the Hebrew word for "tree." My middle name is a variation on an English surname. My last name could not be found at all :? Probably because they couldn't spell it I checked that other program that tells you how many people with your name exist in the world...apparently I am the only one...and yet my identity has been stolen twice :x

Thanks for posting Godfather. I love this stuff.

Meg8686

Megan -a Welsh diminutive form of Margaret, from Greek 'margaron', "pearl", and thus means "little pearl". I like that.

Curious, do many parents name their child based on what a name supposedly means?

I mean, I wasn't named based on any meaning, and neither were either of my children.

pandora

I guess my Mama did, she liked the story and the meaning. It was little known
back in 1956, all our names very unusual too.

I did the same to some degree with my kids,
liking unusual but it worked out funny, my boy's was so unusual you won't meet another
but later my mother-in-law found it in her family tree as a common name.
My daughter was named in WI long before we were to move to Georgia and was
named a city name here.
I guess both were meant to be

I suppose some, most? do. My mom did for me.

Then again, my sister was named after my father's mother, who died in a concentration camp.

I would imagine there's usually some significance attached to a given name.

We did. Our second child's name means "little champion". I had a high risk pregnancy and she was born 4 weeks early and weighed 4lbs. We thought the name suited the situation and described who she would have to be in her first weeks of life.

Jason P

Jason - It comes from Greek Ἰάσων, meaning "healer", from the verb ἰάομαι "heal, cure".

Secondary meaning - From English-American roots for He who despises the New England Patriots :geek:
