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.
