Who is like God?
Makhi is a modern phonetic spelling variant of the Hebrew name Maki, which is a diminutive form of Michael. It carries the rhetorical question 'Who is like God?', implying that no one compares to the divine. While rare, it has gained some traction in the United States as a contemporary alternative to traditional biblical names.
