What does Misael mean?
Misael means “Who is what God is, through Mishael”.
Misael is a form of the biblical name Mishael, used in Spanish, Portuguese, and other language traditions. Its Hebrew meaning is expressed as a question about who is like God or who is what God is. The ending el is the divine element, making the religious meaning part of the name’s structure.
In the Book of Daniel, Mishael is one of Daniel’s companions and is also known by the Babylonian name Meshach. Misael preserves the Hebrew-name connection through a different language form. Michael has a similar meaning but is a separate name, so the two should not be treated as simple spelling variations of one another.
