Misshael is a modern elaborated spelling of Hebrew Mishael (מִישָׁאֵל), meaning “Who is like God?” or “Who is what God is?” The name is cognate with Michael but uses the particle še/sha “that, which” rather than -kha “like.” Pronunciation typically mi-SHAY-əl; some may say MISS-sha-el.

In the Hebrew Bible Mishael appears: a cousin of Moses (Exod. 6:22) and one of Daniel’s companions later called Meshach (Dan. 1:7). Through Jewish and Christian traditions it has remained modestly used, with wider currency in modern Israel and diasporic communities. Spelling and cultural variants include Mishael, Mishel, Misael (Spanish/Portuguese), Michel, Michael/Michaël (French/English), Mikhail (Russian), Mihail (Slavic/Balkan), and the pet form Misha. Because the Miss- prefix reads feminine in English, Misshael today is sometimes chosen for girls, though historically the root name is masculine.
