Mykelina is in Origin.

Mykelina is a modern elaboration and respelling of Michelina/Mikelina, a feminine diminutive of Michael. The root is the Hebrew Mikha'el, meaning "Who is like God?" - a rhetorical declaration of God's incomparability. The -ina ending entered the name through Italian and other Romance traditions, where diminutives signaled affection or lineage, and it later circulated in Slavic and Germanic languages via devotion to Saint Michael.

While Mykelina itself is rare and largely found in contemporary English-speaking usage, it belongs to a very old naming family. Medieval evidence for feminine forms includes Blessed Michelina of Pesaro (13th century Italy). Cognates and close variants include Michelina, Mikelina, Michalina (Polish), Micheline (French), Michaeline, Micaela/Mikaela, and Michaela. The creative y and k in Mykelina align with late-20th-century trends that modernize traditional names while preserving meaning. Possible short forms are Myka, Mika, and Lina.
