What is the right spelling Michael or Micheal?

Answer 1

Michael Jackson

Answer 2

Michael is the English form, pronounced like my kill. Mícheál, is the Irish language form and is pronounced like me hall. The little line over the i and the a is known as a fada and it changes the pronunciation of those letters. People using that variation of the spelling for English often leave out the fadas, as in the case of your question.

Answer 3

The English name is spelt Michael. Coming from someone who has done research (and who is called Michael), people are only called MichEAl because their parents didn't know how to spell the name.
Michael

Actually:

The meaning of the name Micheal is Who Is Like God?

The origin of the name Micheal is Irish

Notes: Irish form of Michael. Pronounced "Me-HAWL"

Both spellings can be correct. We chose "eal" because of my husbands ancestry.
Proper names have their own rules or more commonly nowadays no rules.

There are accepted ways of spelling certain names and these usually stay the same over time.

However if your name has been misspelled on your birth certificate, either deliberately or by mistake, that misspelling is your official name until you officially change it.

Answer 4

Micheal
