The name Michal is not pronounced like the English Michael (mie-kul), but mee-khal in Hebrew.

Means "Who is like God". A sweet name, though if you are reading it for the first time, it may look like it is a guy's name.

Who is like god would be Mi-cha-el, or Michael.

Does not mean "who is like G-d". The AL at the end is the difference. 'EL' in Michael (who is like G-d?) is El associated with Elohim, the Hebrew word/title for God. AL is totally different.

Pronounced MEE-KHAHL.

This is my name and I really like having it. I pronounce it like Michael (though it can also be pronounced Meekal). It's fun to see people's reactions when they meet a girl with what they think it a man's name. Definitely unique. I know of only one other person with the same name.

I absolutely love this name. If I have a daughter I think I'll name her Michal. It's so unique and beautiful. I could go on and on about it. One of my favourite names.

It's pronounced mee-HARL (raspy h in the back of the throat), H is a closer approximation than K, but I suppose it might be pronounced mee-KARL, following the anglicisation of Michael (mee-har-EL).

I plan on naming a girl Michal. And by the way, in the Hebrew, it can't mean "Who is like God" because it's lacking the "el" element. El means God in Hebrew (El Shaddai, El Elyon, etc.), and is a prefix or suffix of many names (Daniel, Michael, Nathanael, Israel, Elijah, etc.). Michal is more likely to mean brook (also an English name when spelled Brooke) or wadi.

I think Michal is a great name for a girl/woman. It may sound like Michael, but Michal is a woman's name in the bible. It's one of those names that has always been a female name, but sounds masculine for those who like tomboyish sounding names for girls.
