The name Michael originates not so much from a country, but from two Hebrew words. Firstly, in Hebrew the word michameans "in the likeness of". Secondly, in Hebrew the word el means "God". It is used generically in the compound form of many words. An example is bethelwhich means "house of God". Therefore, the name Michael literally means "like God", hence its use as the name of the archangel Michael as revealed in The Bible.
