In the Greek Orthodox Church, Mihalis is often celebrated on November 8th, the feast day of Archangel Michael.
The name Mihalis has been widely used in Greece for centuries, contributing to its enduring popularity and familiarity within the country's cultural landscape. It also carries a certain degree of prestige due to its association with the revered saint.
Internationally, Mihalis is recognized as a Greek name and may be encountered among communities of Greek descent around the world. However, it has not gained widespread usage outside of Greece and Cyprus.
The name Mihalis can have various spellings depending on the language and country, such as Mikhail (Russian), Mihai (Romanian), or Miguel (Spanish/Portuguese). Despite these variations, the core meaning remains consistent: a person who is like God.
