ArchivesDefinition of "Michael"
It says that it means "who is like God?" as a question. I have always interpreted it as a statement. Considering Michael's place in the scheme of things, it would make more sense that it would be a statement of fact rather than an interrogative.
Michael = "Who is like God."
Michael = "Who is like God."

Read Psalm 113 from verse 5 - and you will see the point.

No, it's a question, because no one is like God. It's a rhetorical question, a praise to God, saying that no one is like God.

Right. It's not a question like "Hey, does anybody know who else is like God?", but it's a praise given as a rhetorical question "Do you know anyone or anything else as awesome as God? Thought not!"
It's one of my favorite name meanings, because it is a phrase like that as opposed to the more generic (even when lovely) meanings most names have.
