Version 1.

What does the last name Mikhailov mean? The basis of the last name Mikhailov was the church name Michael. The male baptismal name Michael, translated from Hebrew, means 'equal, like God.' The surname of Mikhailov was based on his old everyday form - Mikhailo. Among the patrons of this name is Archangel Michael, the main archangel, the most revered biblical character. In the Revelation of John the Evangelist, the heavenly battle of the archangel Michael and his angels with the seven-headed and ten-horned dragon is described, as a result of which the great dragon, the ancient serpent called the devil and Satan, is cast to the ground. Archangel Michael is an archistratig ('commander in chief'), the head of the holy army of angels, standing guard over God's law. On the icons, the Archangel Michael is often depicted with a spear cane in one hand and a special mirror sphere (a symbol of foresight transmitted to the Archangel by God) in the other. Also, Michael can be represented as an archistratig of the Powers of Heaven, dressed in military armor, or as a rider. Some Mikhailovs may be of noble origin. So, in the history of Russia, the untitled noble family of the Mikhailovs is known, originating from Ivan Mikhailov. The coat of arms of the clan is located in Part I of the General Herbarium of the noble clans of the Russian Empire. Another family of the Mikhailovs, introduced in part II of the 'General Tombstone of the noble families of the Russian Empire', comes from Vasily Mikhailov. These were possessive adjectives with the suffixes -ov / -ev, -in, originally indicating the name of the head of the family. Thus, the descendant of a person with the name Mikhailo, eventually got the name Mikhailov. Among the well-known representatives of the surname are Mikhail Larionovich Mikhailov (1829-1865), a Russian poet, translator, and politician; Alexander Alexandrovich Mikhailov (1888-1983), astronomer, academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences; Maxim Dormidontovich Mikhailov (1893-1971), Russian bass singer, People's Artist of the USSR; Evgeni Vitalievich Mikhailov (1921-1944), pilot, guard lieutenant, Hero of the Soviet Union.
