Miekal is Hebrew in Origin.
Miekal is a modern creative spelling of the long-established name Michael/Mikael, ultimately from the Hebrew Mikha'el, meaning "Who is like God?" (a rhetorical question affirming God's incomparability). The form reflects the name's path through Greek and Latin into English as Michael; its "Mie-" start recalls Mikael, while the "-kal" ending aligns with Mikal.
As a given name, Miekal appears in English-speaking use from the late twentieth century and remains rare, favored by parents seeking a distinctive twist on a classic. Its visibility has been helped in alternative arts circles by the American poet and typographer Miekal And. Related variants and cognates include Michael, Micheal, Mikael, Mikel, Mikal, Mykal, Mychal, Michel, Michele, Miguel, Mihail, Mikhail, Mikhael, and Polish Michal; common diminutives are Mike and Mikey, with feminine forms Michaela, Mikaela, and Michelle.
