The baby name Mihail is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced MEE-hail (IPA: /miˈhaɪl/).
Mihail is Hebrew in Origin.
Mihail is the South and East Slavic and Romanian form of Michael, from Hebrew Mikha'el, the rhetorical question "Who is like God?" It entered the Balkans through Greek and Church Slavonic, spreading with Christianization. Strongly tied to the Archangel Michael - protector and commander of heavenly hosts - the name features in Orthodox calendars (notably 8 November), with long-standing use in Bulgaria and North Macedonia; in Romania, Mihail appears in formal and ecclesiastical contexts, while Mihai prevails in daily use.
Medieval and early-modern bearers underline its prestige, such as Tsar Mihail Shishman of Bulgaria; related forms name Prince Mihailo Vojislavljevic and Tsar Mikhail I Romanov. Common diminutives include Misho/Miso (Bulgarian/South Slavic) and, in related forms, Misha (Russian). Close variants: Mikhail (Russian), Mykhailo (Ukrainian), Mihailo or Mihajlo (Serbian/Montenegrin), Mihai (Romanian), Michal (Czech/Slovak), Michal with ogonek Michał (Polish), Michael, Michel, Miguel, Michele, Mikael, Micheal (Irish), and Georgian Mikheil.
