Mikayah is Hebrew in Origin.
Mikayah is a modern phonetic spelling of the Hebrew Micaiah (Mikhayahu/Mikhayah), a theophoric blend of mi “who,” k- “like,” and Yah, the divine name’s short form - meaning “Who is like Yahweh?” and closely related to Michael. Often pronounced mi-KAY-uh or my-KAY-uh, it preserves the -yah element found in many ancient Hebrew names.
Micaiah appears repeatedly in the Hebrew Bible, most famously the prophet Micaiah son of Imlah who opposed King Ahab (1 Kings 22); a feminine bearer in Chronicles attests to unisex use. The name entered English via Puritan Scripture-inspired choices, and today Mikayah reflects contemporary respelling trends. Variants and cognates include Micaiah, Michaiah, Mikaya, Makiah, Mykaiah, and the short form Micah; related but distinct are Michaela/Makayla. Possible nicknames: Mic, Mica, Kai, Kaya.
