Mihali

Mihali is a masculine given name that appears in several linguistic and cultural contexts as a variant of Michael. The given name Michael originates from the Hebrew Mikha'el, meaning “Who is like God?”. The form Mihali is found in parts of Europe and among diaspora communities where Slavic, Romanian, Hungarian, or Albanian naming traditions intersect. Spelling and pronunciation vary by language and region; it may be written with or without diacritics and pronounced according to local norms.

As a given name, Mihali is relatively uncommon compared with more widely used forms such as Mihai, Mihail, Mihály, or Michael. It is typically used as a standalone name rather than a surname, though in some families it may appear as part of a patronymic or family name due to transmission.

Related names include Mihai and Mihail in Romanian and Slavic contexts, Mihály in Hungarian, and Michael in English. The exact usage and prevalence of Mihali can vary by country, language community, and historical period.
