Notes:	English and Czech, derived from the Hebrew name Micah, "one who is like God"; NT Revelations 12:7-9. The 1841 Census of Aberdeenshire gives a number of spelling variants and short names which might apply to either Michael or the derived name Mitchell. These variants include Michal, Michel, Michell, Michie which are therefore shown under both primary names. In old documents in Latin, Micaelis or Mycaelis may be used for Michael, with appropriate case endings.
