米迦勒

米迦勒 is the standard Chinese Bible transliteration for Michael the Archangel — chief of the angelic armies in Christian and Jewish tradition. Note the contrast: when 'Michael' is a regular modern given name (Michael Jackson, Michael Jordan), Chinese uses 迈克尔 (Màikè'ěr) or 麦克尔, not 米迦勒. The 米迦勒 form is reserved for the Bible and religious art.

Three characters, three sounds: 米 (Mi-) + 迦 (-cha-, archaic transliteration syllable also seen in 释迦 Shakya) + 勒 (-el). The middle 迦 is the giveaway — wherever you see it in a name, you're almost certainly looking at a religious transliteration (Buddhist or Christian).
