Mikhela is a modern feminine variant of the biblical name Michael, from Hebrew Mikha’el, “Who is like God?” - a rhetorical question affirming God’s unmatched nature. While Michael spread widely in Europe through veneration of the archangel, feminine forms rose later; Mikhela likely emerges from blending Michaela/Michela with a k to reflect the hard consonant heard in Hebrew and some Slavic pronunciations.
