The story of Johnmichael
American Catholic families in particular have long given double first names — John Paul, Mary Kate, John Michael — and closing them into one word is recent and practical, since forms give a single field for a first name. Michael is the archangel who leads the heavenly armies; John is the Baptist and the Evangelist. The pairing puts two of the four commonest European men's names side by side.
Meaning
God is gracious; who is like God?
John descends from Hebrew Yohanan, God is gracious. Michael is Mikha'el, a question — who is like God? — whose expected answer is nobody. Both halves are complete sentences and both are among the best-documented names in existence.

- Eleven letters in one field is awkward and the capital M is usually lost.
- Two very common names together does not make an uncommon one.
