Michel

Meaning “who is like God?,” Michel is a boy’s name and a French and German variant of Michael. Famed 16th-century astrologer and seeer Michel de Nostredame carried this moniker, though those who studied his prophecies simply knew him as Nostradamus. Like Michael, Michel ultimately derives from Miḵaʾel, a Hebrew name that describes the belief in God's infinite power shared by many world religions.
