- Michelle is not in the Bible, but it is Michael by way of France — the French feminine of Michel, from the Hebrew ميخائيل (Mikha’el).
- The Hebrew is a question, not a description: “Who is like God?” Its expected answer is nobody, and it is thrown at whatever sets itself in God’s place.
- Michael appears as a chief prince and protector (Daniel 10:13; 12:1), disputes with the devil over the body of Moses and refuses to condemn him himself (Jude 9), and fights the dragon (Revelation 12:7).
- He is the only figure Scripture names as an archangel. Gabriel, more talked about, is never given the title.
- There is no woman named Michelle in Scripture, and no name in the Bible works as a charm.
