Family (c) Lynda BernhardtMichael … its meaning is "Who resembles God" - Think Baby Names

The baby name Michael is of Hebrew origin. In the Bible, Michael is the archangel who will fight against the “dragon” (against evil) in the end times. Michael is one of the few angels whose name is revealed in the Bible. You can read about the angel Michael in Jude 1:9 and Revelation 12:7.

The baby name Michael has been one of the most popular names in the United States for the last 100 years! In fact, the lowest ranking that the baby name Michael has had in the last 100 years was at #56 back in 1926. Talk about staying power!

The statistics continue to be impressive. The baby name Michael has ranked as either #1 or #2 in every year since 1954! I had no idea that Michael was that popular of a name! See Popular Baby Names for more statistics on the baby name Michael.

A popular nickname for the baby name Michael is the baby name Mike. The baby name Mike as a stand-alone name is less popular, only ranking at #750 in 2007. See Popular Baby Names.

The baby name Michael is a great choice for Christian families. The meaning of the name, as well as Michael being an archangel in the Bible, makes the baby name a popular one among Christian families.

Famous people who share the baby name Michael include actor Michael Douglas, basketball legend Michael Jordan , and Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps.
