Mikell is Hebrew in Origin.
Mikell is a modern English given name and surname, most often a phonetic respelling of Michael or the Basque Mikel. Ultimately it descends from the Hebrew personal name Mikha’el, meaning “Who is like God?” - a rhetorical declaration of God’s uniqueness. As a surname in the United States and Britain, Mikell probably arose from the medieval given name Michael and later fed back into given-name use.
In given-name records, Mikell appears sporadically in the 20th and 21st centuries, chiefly in the U.S., and is sometimes used as a unisex choice influenced by the -ell ending and the popularity of Michelle. Common short forms include Mike and Mikey. Related variants across languages include Michael, Michel, Micheál, Mikel, Mikael, Michele (It.), and Mikhail; feminine counterparts include Michelle, Michaela, and Mikelle. Pronunciations vary, often my-KELL or mih-KELL.
