Thinking about the name
Michael
Hebrew origin
“From the Hebrew Mikha'el, meaning 'who is like God?' — a question posed by the archangel Michael as a declaration of divine supremacy. Michael is one of Christianity's most venerated figures, the leader of God's armies, making the name both spiritually profound and universally respected. It has remained the most popular boy's name in the Western world for decades, borne by kings, saints, artists, and athletes alike.”
