Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Assalamwalaikum, I want to ask that if a boy can be named mikhail or djibril (jibril). Is it true that mikhail is the name of a farishta? pls also give the meaning of the names?

Answer

(Fatwa: 1283/1097=L/1429)

Yes, one can name a child with Mikail or Jibrail.

Yes, it is right that Mikail is an angel who is appointed by Allah to supply maintenance.

We do not know the meaning.

Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best
