Mikkey is in Origin.

Mikkey is a contemporary respelling of Mickey/Mikey, the familiar pet form of Michael (and Scandinavian Mikael). Michael derives from the Hebrew Mikha’el, “Who is like God?”, a rhetorical affirmation of divine uniqueness. As with most nicknames from Michael, Mikkey is primarily masculine but can be used unisex.

Informal forms of Michael spread widely through medieval Christianity and boomed in the 19th–20th centuries, with an iconic pop-culture lift from Disney’s Mickey Mouse and public figures like Mickey Rooney and Mickey Mantle. The double-k Mikkey is rare but visible - most notably via Swedish drummer Mikkey Dee - giving the name a rock-leaning, modern edge. Close variants include Mickey, Mikey, Micky, Mikky, and Mikki; Scandinavian hypocoristics Micke and Mikke also appear. Related formal counterparts are Michael, Mikael, Mícheál, Michel, Michiel, Mikhail, Miguel, Mihai, and their feminine forms Michelle and Michaela.
