The surname is found throughout Italy and among Italian diaspora communities around the world. It is borne by individuals in a variety of professions and across many generations, appearing in historical records as well as contemporary documents.

Like many Italian names, Micheli can be encountered in genealogical research focused on lineage, migration, and regional distribution. It often appears in civil registers, church records, and other archival sources that trace family histories.

Because Micheli is relatively common, many people bearing the name have contributed to fields such as science, sports, and the arts; however, there is no single figure universally associated with the surname. The name is primarily of genealogical and cultural interest for those studying Italian heritage and onomastics.
