About the name Micaele
The origin of the spellings Micaele, Mikaele, Mikaelle and Micaelle is uncertain. The ending -ele (or -elle) comes, according to the Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil), from French -elle, and the same text treats -ela as the learned form and -ele as the popular form of this formative, as in Ediela and Ediele. The Dictionary records Micaela as "Mica + -ela" and, according to Machado (1981), as the feminine of Micael, which Wiktionary gives as a parallel form of Miguel, from Biblical Hebrew "who is like God?". In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 39,759 people with the four spellings, and Micaele had the highest number of records among women born in the 2000s.
