What is the meaning of the name Mikayliah ?

The baby name Mikayliah is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced mih-KAY-lee-uh (mɪˈkeɪliə).

Mikayliah is English, Hebrew in Origin.

Mikayliah is a modern elaboration of Mikayla/Michaela, the feminine form of Michael. Michael comes from the Hebrew Mikha'el, a rhetorical question meaning "Who is like God?" The -iah ending evokes Hebrew theophoric names and brings it close in look to Micaiah (Hebrew Mikhayahu, "Who is like Yahweh?"), though Mikayliah is generally understood as a creative blend - Mikayla + -iah - rather than a direct biblical form.

Used mainly in English-speaking countries since the late 20th century, it fits the wave of respellings that made Mikayla and Makayla popular. Common variants and cognates include Mikayla, Makayla, McKayla, Mikaila, Mikaylah, Michaela, Mykaela, and the related Micaiah and Micah. Short forms such as Mika, Kay, Kayla, and Lia are natural. The name carries the venerable meaning tied to Michael: a humble assertion that none is like God, blended with a contemporary, lyrical sound.
