Mihangel is Welsh in Origin.

Mihangel is the traditional Welsh form of Michael, ultimately from the Hebrew Mikha'el, the rhetorical question "Who is like God?" Transmitted through Latin and ecclesiastical use, it appears most visibly in Welsh religious life and place-names, especially the many Llanfihangel ("church of St Michael") parishes, and in phrases like Gwyl Mihangel for Michaelmas. As a given name it has been comparatively rare in modern Wales, where English Michael or the Welsh Meical are more common.

Variants and cognates include Michael (English), Micheil (Scottish Gaelic), Mícheál (Irish), Myghal (Cornish), Mikael (Scandinavian, Breton), Michel (French), Michele (Italian), Miguel (Spanish), Miquel (Catalan), Mikel (Basque), Mihail (Bulgarian/Romanian), Mikhail (Russian), and Mykhailo (Ukrainian); feminine forms include Michaela and Michelle. The name's enduring appeal comes from veneration of the Archangel Michael, protector and leader in biblical and medieval tradition, whose cult was strong across the Celtic world.
