      The name Migelly is believed to have roots in Spanish and Latin cultures, likely derived from the name Miguel, which is the Spanish variant of Michael. Michael, originating from Hebrew, translates to Who is like God? The name Migelly may represent a modern adaptation or variant, embracing the phonetic and stylistic preferences of contemporary naming trends while maintaining a connection to its historical and traditional origins.
