An alternative interpretation to "Who has seen God" is derived from the two Hebrew roots "Micha" and "El" considered separately."El" usually refers to God in His capacity as "father," "male,"
"strongest," "greatest," "highest, and "most powerful.""Micha" or "Mich" is related to the eye.
It can mean "eye," "image," "in the image of," "seeing," and "son of" or "in the likeness of."These usages give us the etymological origin of words like image, magic, magi (seers in the time of the patriarchs), and even the mac or mc that preceeds many scottish names."Michael" was a very popular name among the ancient people in the town of Ebel where the oldest known writings in asia have been found. It seems plausible that the older meaning is similar to the way "mc" or "mac" was used in the old scottish names. In those old scottish names, which all have meaning when compared with old hebrew and sanscrit words of similar sound, used the "mc" or "mac" sound to denote "the son of" or "in the image of."With these considerations in mind, it seems plausible that the original meaning of "Michael" was "in the image of God" or "in the likeness of God," referring to the scripture in Genesis which says that man was made in the image or likeness of God.

Ja - it's Hebrew, and means "Who is like God?" It's the name of one of the archangels in the Bible.
