History & Origin

Michalia extends Michaela, the feminine of Michael, whose Hebrew root mikha'el poses the question 'who is like God?'. The added -alia turns the crisp Michaela into a longer, more lyrical four-syllable name, in step with other -lia endings like Amalia and Natalia.

Michalia was never common in the United States, appearing around the mid-1990s and given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak near 1994. A girl named Michalia then is around thirty today.

Did you know? The name behind it, Michael, is one of the archangels, and its Hebrew form asks the humble question 'who is like God?' rather than making a claim.
