Mikeah is Hebrew in Origin.

Mikeah is a modern English elaboration of the Hebrew names Micah and Micaiah, both ultimately from מִיכָה/מִיכָיָהוּ (Mikha/Mikhayahu). It carries the theophoric meaning “Who is like Yahweh (God)?,” a rhetorical tribute to divine uniqueness, built from Hebrew mi “who,” kə “like,” and the element Yah(u) referring to the divine name.

The root appears throughout the Hebrew Bible: the prophet Micah lends the name historic weight, while Micaiah son of Imlah is a noted seer in Kings. In the English-speaking world, Micah rose after the Reformation; Mikeah surfaces as a late‑20th‑century creative spelling, used for all genders. Parents often choose it to blend the familiarity of Micah with the lyrical -eah ending, and to signal a mi-KAY-uh pronunciation (though my-KEE-uh also occurs). Related forms include Micah, Micaiah, Mikah, Mycah, Myka, Makiah, and Mikaya.
