** 1776, The Holy Bible, Daniel 12:1:Silloin nousee suuri päämies Mikael, joka sinun kansas lasten edessä seisoo;And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince that standeth for the children of thy people.
** 1776, The Holy Bible, Revelation 12:7:Ja (suuri) sota tapahtui taivaassa: Mikael ja hänen enkelinsä sotivat lohikärmeen kanssa, ja lohikärme soti ja hänen enkelinsä.And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon.

** 1975, Alpo Ruuth, Naisten vuonna, WSOY, →ISBN, page 85:Voi suokaa nyt anteeks, mutta minä aloin olla jo niin väsynyt, teen nääs ilmoituksen lauantai-iltana saunan jälkeen, niin, tämä se on, Armas Miikael. Sitä kirjoittaa miten sanotaan, kun kaikki sanoivat lapsena Miikael, ei kukaan Mikael. Kai minä sitten ajattelin. Kun minua lapsena kututtiin Miikaeliks ja Mikoks muttei koskaan Armakseks, ei, ennen kuin menin naimisiin ja vaimo sanoi Armas.Oh forgive me, but I started to be so fed up, so I'll announce something on Saturday night after the sauna, yes, this is it, Armas Miikael. One spells as one says, as everyone called me Miikael as a child, never Mikael. I guess I thought that since I always got called Miikael and Mikko but never Armas, not until I got married and my wife called me Armas.
** 1983, Matti Yrjänä Joensuu, Harjunpää ja poliisin poika, Otava (2010), →ISBN, pages 7–8:―Sua sanotaan Mikuks siks että se sopii sulle paremmin kuin joku Mikael, Leo rähähti lopulta. ― Et sä mikään enkeli ole. Sä olet vielä parempi kuin broidis. Varsinainen pieni perkele sä olet!―You're called Mikku because it suits you better than something like Mikael, Leo eventually snarled. ― You're no angel. You're even better than your brother, a real son of a bitch is what you are!
** 2005, Pirkko Saisio, Voimattomuus, WSOY, →ISBN, page 130:Mutta kaunis se on, sietämättömän kaunis, niin kuin Mikael. Miksi noin kaunis mies kutsuu itseään Jokeksi? Tuollaiselle miehelle sopisi enkelin nimi, niin kuin Mikael.But beautiful he is, unbearably beautiful, just like Mikael. Why does such a beautiful man call himself Jokke? A man like him should have an angel's name, like Mikael.
