Proper pronunciation of a person's name

How to pronounce the name "Makiel".
  

Top answer

Knowing the linguistic heritage of the name would help with an estimation of the pronunciation. If you know the person in question, I'd sugget that you ask him or her directly. It looks to me to be a version of Michael, so it would be close to that.
