Mikha is Hebrew in Origin.
Mikha is a Semitic name from Hebrew Mikhah (מִיכָה), a shortened form of Micaiah/Mikhayahu (מִיכָיָהוּ). It translates as “Who is like Yahweh?” - a rhetorical declaration that no one is comparable to God. The name appears in the Hebrew Bible, borne by the 8th‑century BCE prophet Micah; the cognate also occurs in later Jewish texts and Christian scripture lists.
As a given name, Mikha has traveled widely through biblical translation. English adopted the related form Micah via the Puritans in the 1600s, while Mikha is the standard rendering in Indonesian and a common transliteration in Arabic-speaking churches; it is used for both boys and girls in Indonesia. Variants and related forms include Micah, Micha, Myka, Mica, Micaiah/Micayah, and the Hebrew spellings Micha/Mikhah. The broader family is related to Michael/Mikha’el, which poses the same theophoric question.
