My middle name is Michaelle. Said Like Michelle but named after my uncle Michael. I believe Archangel Michael was the first man on earth (Adam) and that is why he is called the Archangel. Also makes a lot of sense why Michael means: “who is Like God.”(without the question, as “scholars” think no one was believed to be like God) We believe we were made in God’s image. That is why Michael means “who is like God.” The first man is like God, in his body shape. We are his children. interesting how truths get a little twisted over time.
