Mishel is a female first name.
Recently, the name Mishel has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Mishel. That means that a girl named Mishel is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Mishel.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Mishel. Girls named Mishel have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 6,118 Mishel ranked higher than ever before in 1980. By comparison, there have been 105 years in which the first name Mishel has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 1997. In general, parents name their daughters Mishel only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves exceptional!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Mishel was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, Mishel continues to be a precious jewel: 10 newborns were named Mishel that year, ranking #8,408 in the SmartGenius name statistics. If your baby's name is Mishel, you must have a flair for beautiful and rare names: Congratulations, your child is sure to feel unique.
Meeting a woman or girl named Mishel is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Mishel can be found in only two: California and New York. No other state currently has residents named Mishel. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Mishel living in one state or another (if your name is Mishel and you live outside of California or New York, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). Either way, the name is quite rare. The best chance of meeting a Mishel is in New York, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in New York, only 0.00005% of all female residents are named Mishel – that’s just one in 1,988,886! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 12 women with that name. So, if your name is Mishel, chances are you will never meet another woman with your beautiful first name.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter M is a quite popular first letter for girls' names. That’s because 8.5% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letters A and S are more common for girls' names.
With six letters, the name Mishel is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
Therefore: As 8.5% of all girls' names start with an M, this initial letter occurs nearly 2.5-times as often as all 26 letters on average – and the most common one of all the girls’ names starting with M is Mary.
If your name is Mishel and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
