Mikel

Mikel is a Basque name meaning 'who is like God'. It is a variant of the Hebrew name Michael, which has the same meaning.

The name Michael is derived from the Hebrew elements 'mi' meaning 'who' and 'el' meaning 'God'. It is a rhetorical question that implies 'no one is like God'.

Mikel is a popular name in the Basque region of Spain and France, as well as in other Spanish-speaking countries. It is often used as a shortened form of the name Miguel, which is the Spanish equivalent of Michael.

While Mikel is primarily used as a masculine name, it has occasionally been given to girls as well, particularly in Basque-speaking regions.
