What is the meaning of the name Mihailo ?

The baby name Mihailo is a boy name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced mee-HAH-ee-lo.

Mihailo is Greek, Hebrew, Serbian in Origin.

Mihailo is a South Slavic form of Michael, transmitted through Greek Μιχαήλ and Christian liturgical usage from Hebrew מִיכָאֵל, Mikhaʾel, the biblical form attested in the Hebrew Bible. The Hebrew name is a rhetorical question built from mī, who, kā, like, and ʾEl, God; its literal sense is who is like God? Serbian adds the masculine ending -o to the Mihail- stem.

In Serbian, Mihailo appears in Cyrillic as Михаило and has been especially associated with Orthodox Christian naming, the archangel Michael, and medieval and modern Serbian history. Bearers include King Mihailo Vojislavljević of Duklja and Prince Mihailo Obrenović. Mihajlo and Mijailo are closely related South Slavic spellings, while Mihail is common in Bulgarian and Romanian contexts. In the United States, records show rare but continuing use in the twenty-first century.
