The name MACHIEL comes from MICHIEL and is originally derived from MICHAEL, and may have Medieval Flemish, Dutch, Hebrew, Biblical, or English origins and have its roots in Christianity or Judaism.
From the Hebrew name מִיכָאֵל (Mikha'el) meaning "who is like God?". This is a rhetorical question, implying no person is like God. Michael is one of the archangels in Hebrew tradition and the only one identified as an archangel in the Bible. In the Book of Daniel in the Old Testament he is named as a protector of Israel. In the Book of Revelation in the New Testament he is portrayed as the leader of heaven's armies in the war against Satan, and is thus considered the patron saint of soldiers in Christianity.
