Mikeyah is English in Origin.

Mikeyah is a modern English given name drawing on Hebrew roots. It is widely understood as a contemporary respelling of Micaiah/Michaiah (Hebrew Mikhayahu/Mikhayah), formed from mi “who,” k- “like,” and Yah, a divine name, yielding the meaning “Who is like Yahweh?” or “Who is like God?” Some also read it as a blend of Mikey (a diminutive of Michael) with the theophoric -yah ending, keeping it within the same meaning family as Michael and Micah.

In scripture, Micaiah appears for multiple figures - including the prophet in 1 Kings 22 - and functions as a unisex name. Mikeyah itself is a rare, contemporary U.S. usage that leans feminine but remains essentially unisex. Variant spellings and related forms include Mikayah, Mikaiyah, Micaiah, Michaiah, Micah, and Michael; phonetic cousins such as Mikayla/Makayla circulate alongside but have distinct origins. Possible nicknames are Mika, Kya, Keya, and Mikey. The name’s appeal lies in its modern sound anchored by an ancient, reverent meaning.
