Meikaylah is in Origin.

Meikaylah is a modern English elaboration of Michaela blended with Kayla, produced by phonetic spelling and a decorative -h. Michaela is the feminine of Michael, from Hebrew Mikha'el, meaning "Who is like God?" Kayla contributes a separate line of influence, often traced to Yiddish Kaila (from Hebrew Kelila, "laurel, crown") or viewed as a short form of Katherine. Most bearers interpret Meikaylah with Michaela's theophoric sense, sometimes with a graceful crown nuance.

While Michaela has long-standing use in Central and Western Europe, the Kayla/Mikayla family rose sharply in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand from the 1980s through the early 2000s, encouraged by pop culture and a taste for melodic -ayla endings. Creative variants include Mikayla, Makayla, McKayla, Mikaela, Michaela, Kayla, and Kaylah; rarer spellings like Meikaylah fit this trend. Short forms include Mei, Kay, and Mikki.
