Meaning & Story

Italian form of Michael, meaning 'who is like God,' famously borne by the Renaissance genius Michelangelo Buonarroti.

Michelangelo is a grand, artistic name that suits a pet with undeniable presence and flair. Most owners who choose it are fans of the Renaissance master or the beloved Ninja Turtle — either way, it's a name packed with personality. It works hilariously well for a large, slightly clumsy dog who thinks very highly of himself. Nicknames like Mike or Angelo make it practical day-to-day.
