What is the meaning of the name Mica ?

The baby name Mica is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced MEE-kah (/ˈmiːkə/),MY-kuh (/ˈmaɪkə/).

Mica is Hebrew in Origin.

Mica is a unisex given name with roots in Hebrew via Micah/Micaiah (Mikha/Mikayahu), meaning “Who is like God?” or “Who resembles Yahweh?” It’s also used as a short form of Micaela/Michaela in Romance languages; it overlaps with the English and Spanish word for the glimmering mineral, adding a subtle nature/image layer.

In English-speaking communities, Mica appears as a streamlined modern spelling alongside biblical Micah, whose use was boosted by Puritan naming. In Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking countries it functions as a familiar nickname for Micael/Micaela. In South Slavic areas, the diminutive Mića (often rendered Mica without diacritics) exists for names like Mihailo or Milica. Variants and related forms include Micah, Micaiah, Micaela, Micha, Michaela, Micael, Mika, Myka/Mycah. Overall, Mica blends ancient theophoric meaning with contemporary, gender-flexible style.
