About the name Michelangelo
Michelangelo is an Italian compound name joining Michele and Angelo, a combination that honours the archangel Michael. Michele comes from the Hebrew Mikha’el, meaning who is like God?, and Angelo from the Greek angelos, a messenger or angel. The name is inseparable from Michelangelo Buonarroti, the Florentine sculptor, painter and architect who carved the David, painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and designed the dome of Saint Peter’s Basilica. The film director Michelangelo Antonioni also bore it. Michelagnolo is the old Tuscan spelling.
