Thinking about the name
Mitchel
French origin
“A one-l variant of Mitchell, derived from the Old French Michel (from Michael), meaning 'who is like God.' Mitchel is less common than its double-l counterpart but carries the same strong, masculine energy. The single-l spelling offers a slightly more streamlined aesthetic.”
