In Irish the name Michael is spelt Mícheál and is pronounced mee-hall. No matter what language it is spelt in, it is still the same name so you shouldn't worry about it too much.

Alpha is right. Though Michael is a Hebrew name. The Irish spell it Micheal and pronounce it Mee Hall in Irish Gaelic.

My grandson's is spelled Mikel. I know many people today who deliberately choose alternate spellings for the purpose of being distinctive.
If you hang out here for any length of time, you'll hear us point out that names DO NOT HAVE proven nationalities or origins, and what you consider it to "be" is only your own personal custorm or preference. The only time spelling might really matter is if someone compares his id to the birth certificate, or if you are using a search engine like google (and even google is programmed to say "do you mean .
Mothers in law- I have the world's BEST mother in law, and my daughter's mother in law might go down in history as the worst. But that probably works best in family and relationships section.
With a FRIENDLY hug... yep, I do think you are making a big deal out of nothing. Let us entice you into tracing ancestors, and misspellings become standard operating procedure.

The following Wikipedia web site lists the most popular given names by country:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_popular_given_name
In Ireland, Michael places at number nine while in Malta Michael is the third most popular name. In Austria and in Denmark, "Michael" and "Mikkel" respectively show at number seven.
Just an educated guess, but Michael is probably a fairly common given name in most European countries perhaps because Christians and Jews have historically associated it with the Archangel, Michael. The Qur'an also refers to that Archangel as "Mikhal".

"But in Irish, the word means island". Um, no. The Irish word for island is oileán (pronounced ill-an). I speak Irish and isla doesn't mean anything in Irish. Where on earth did you get that from?
