What is the meaning of the name Jonicah ?

Jonicah is English in Origin.

Jonicah is a rare modern English given name, likely a creative elaboration of Joni (a diminutive of Joan, Joanna, or Jonathan) blended with the stylish -ica/-cah ending. Through the John/Joan line it ultimately traces to Hebrew Yohanan, "Yahweh is gracious." The final -cah also echoes biblical names like Micah, so some bearers read it as a hybrid that can carry the parallel sense "who is like God?" Though usage is very limited, it has appeared in the United States and other English-speaking regions since the late 20th century, often chosen for its fresh look and gentle sound.

Because it is an invented form, spellings vary: Jonica, Jonika, Jonikah, and Jonicka are seen, with Joni as a short form. Jonicah works as a unisex name, but it skews feminine in contemporary practice.
