Mikhah is Hebrew in Origin.
Mikhah is the scholarly transliteration of the Hebrew Mikhah (מיכה), a short form of Mikhayahu/Micaiah (מיכיהו). Built from the Semitic elements mi “who?” + k(a) “like” + (Yah[u]) “Yahweh,” it functions as a rhetorical question: “Who is like God/Yahweh?” The shortened Mikhah omits the explicit divine name yet carries the same devotional sense. In this transliteration, kh represents the guttural consonant as in “Bach.”
As a personal name, Mikhah is borne by the 8th-century BCE prophet whose oracles form the Book of Micah, and by several other figures in the Tanakh. Through biblical translation it entered English as Micah, favored by Puritans and revived in modern times; today it is used for all genders in English, though primarily masculine in Jewish and Israeli contexts (Micha/Mikha). Variants and cognates include Micah, Micha, Mikha, Michah, Mica, Mika, Myka; related but distinct are Michael and Mikhail.
Mikhah does not appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. This usually means it's either extremely rare, a regional/traditional name not captured by official statistics, or a brand-new coinage. Use it knowing your child will almost certainly be the only one in the room.
