Meaning and history
Micky is an English diminutive of Michael, though it can also shorten Michelle or other names beginning with Mic-. Michael derives from Hebrew Mikha’el, meaning “who is like God?”—a rhetorical question implying that no one equals God. The archangel Michael gives the name major Jewish, Christian, and Islamic significance. Notable bearers include American musician and actor Micky Dolenz and English musician Micky Moody. Mickey is the more common spelling.
