Meaning and history
Mikko is a Finnish masculine form of Michael. Michael derives from Hebrew Mikha’el, meaning “who is like God?”—a rhetorical declaration that no one is equal to God. The archangel Michael gives the name lasting importance in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions. Mikko is widely used independently in Finland. Notable bearers include Finnish ice hockey player Mikko Koivu and Finnish musician and producer Mikko Franck. Mika and Mikael are related Finnish forms.
