Miquella is in Origin.

Miquella is a modern elaboration in the Michael/Michaela family, ultimately from Hebrew Mikha'el, "Who is like God?" (a rhetorical affirmation of God's uniqueness). The spelling appears to blend Catalan Miquel/Miquela with the English -ella ending trend, producing a soft yet distinctive feminine form. While not traditional in any single language, it sits near attested variants such as Catalan Miquela, Spanish/Italian Micaela, and English/Scandinavian Michaela/Mikaela.

Usage is rare and contemporary, with most bearers found in English-speaking countries from the late 20th century onward. The broader family gained prominence through medieval devotion to the archangel Michael and later 20th-century booms for Michelle and Michaela. Variants and related forms include Miquela, Micaela, Michaela, Mikaela, Michelle, Michela, Makayla, Mikayla; masculine counterparts are Michael, Miguel, Miquel, Michel. Miquella's pop-culture visibility increased recently via fantasy gaming, lending it an ethereal, high-fantasy aura.
