Michal

Michal was the daughter of King Saul, and the Bible says plainly that Michal Saul's daughter loved David. She risked her father's wrath to help David escape assassination, lowering him through a window by night. Her name means who is like God?

Their marriage was later strained, and her story ends in sorrow — but her early courage and love are part of David's rise. She is a complex, memorable figure of Israel's royal history.

Michal is a distinctive, ancient name with a beautiful meaning — soft and unusual.
