Mikaëlle

Mikaëlle is a feminine given name used primarily in French-speaking communities. It is commonly regarded as a variant of Mikaël, the French form of Michel, which in turn derives from the Hebrew Mikha'el, meaning “Who is like God?”

In French onomastics, Mikaëlle is formed by adding the feminine suffix -elle to the stem Mikaël, and it may appear with diacritics such as ë to indicate pronunciation. Spelling variations include Mikaelle and Mikaella, among others.

Usage of Mikaëlle is relatively uncommon and is most often found in France and other Francophone regions. Like many modern French names, it emerged within late 20th-century naming trends that create new feminine forms from traditional masculine roots.

Notable bearers of the exact spelling Mikaëlle are not widely documented in public registries or reference sources. The name may appear among private individuals and in contemporary French-language fiction.

Related names include Mikaël, Michel, Michaëlle, and Mikaella, reflecting shared etymology and the common pattern of creating feminine variants from the name Michael.
