Micallef is a Maltese surname. It has been recorded in Malta since ancient times and its origins probably lie in the name Micali a variant of Michael (in Hebrew Michael means Who is like God). However another possible derivation for the surname is the Maltese word mħallef which means ‘judge’ and thus its origin is not certain. This surname is found in various Medieval records normally as Makluffi.
