Male Ukrainian name (Михайло)
Mykhailo (Ukrainian: Михайло) is a male name of Hebrew origin. It has a rhetorical, interrogative form and literally means «who is like God?» — that is, none is equal to God; the question emphasizes the Creator's uniqueness.
The name derives from Hebrew מִיכָאֵל (Mîkāʾēl), composed of mi («who»), ke / k- («like, similar to»), and ʾēl («God»). In both Christian and Jewish tradition, Michael is the name of the archangel who leads the heavenly host against evil; this gives the name exceptional reverence in Eastern Christianity. The Ukrainian form Mykhailo — with its characteristic palatalized -ylo ending — is the native folk form, distinct from the Church-Slavonic Mykhail. The name was borne by numerous princes, hetmans (notably Mykhailo Doroshenko), metropolitans, and prominent figures of Ukrainian culture.
From Hebrew Mîkāʾēl: mi («who») + ke («like») + ʾēl («God») — «who is like God?».
