What is the meaning of the name Mycaiah ?

The baby name Mycaiah is a Unisex name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced my-KAY-ə (IPA: /maɪˈkeɪ.ə/).

Mycaiah is Hebrew in Origin.

Mycaiah is a modern English respelling of the biblical Hebrew name Micaiah, from Mikha-yahu (מִיכָיָה/מִיכָיָהוּ), combining mikha “who is like?” with the divine element Yah(u), “the LORD.” The meaning is the rhetorical “Who is like Yahweh?” - implying “no one.” Closely related to Micah, which drops the theophoric ending while keeping the same sense, the name appears in scripture with variant spellings due to transliteration traditions.

In the Hebrew Bible, bearers include Micaiah son of Imlah, the courageous prophet confronting King Ahab (1 Kings 22), and a female Michaiah in some textual traditions, giving the name a historic unisex footprint. Contemporary Mycaiah preserves the ancient theology while offering a distinctive update, used sparingly for both sexes in the United States. Common variants are Micaiah, Michaiah, Mikayah, Micah, Mykah, and Makiah; diminutives include Cai/Caia, Mic, and Mica.
