History & Origin

Michalla respells Michaela, the feminine of Michael, from the Hebrew Mikha'el, 'who is like God?' — the name of the great archangel. As Michaela and its cousins surged, families coined many spellings; Michalla is one of the less common, carrying the same meaning as its parent.

It appeared around 1990, held a faint high point around 1994, and remained rare, fading by the two-thousands. A Michalla today is most likely a millennial; the spelling is a personal variant of a popular sound.

Did you know? Michael's feminine forms multiplied in the later twentieth century — Michaela, Mikayla, Makayla, Michalla — each spelling chasing the same sound; the -alla form stayed among the rarest.
