Maikol

Meaning of Maikol

Maikol is a male given name that serves as a unique variation of the more traditional name Michael. Pronounced MY-kohl (/ˈmaɪkol/), this name is particularly popular in Spanish-speaking regions but has also found its way into English-speaking countries, including the United States. The name Maikol carries the same strong and timeless qualities associated with Michael, which means "Who is like God?" in Hebrew. Despite its relatively low occurrence compared to its classic counterpart, Maikol has steadily appeared on U.S. baby name charts over the years, showing sporadic but consistent usage from 2000 onwards. Parents choosing this name may be drawn to its distinctive spelling and phonetic appeal while still maintaining a connection to a historically significant and widely recognized name.
