[edit] Derivation Wrong

The derivation from Michael is not accurate. The name patently comes from the Old English word "micel" (cognate with Latin "magnus," Greek "megas," Sanskrit "maha," etc.), which was pronounced with a palatised "c" ("ch"), i.e. exactly like "Mitchell" is pronounced. I'm going to amend the article on that basis. I have no idea what the Greek thing is about. Jackmitchell 16:46, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

There is also a Mitchell in performing arts. It is his first name, instead of last, this is irregulaar as mitchell is indeed a typical surname. He is also referred to as Mitch. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.219.189.254 (talk) 12:43, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
