History & Origin

Mickala is one of the many spellings Michaela attracted as it rose for girls in the nineteen-eighties and nineties. Michaela is the feminine of Michael, from Hebrew mikha'el, 'who is like God?', and Mickala spells the sound out phonetically.

It stayed uncommon, cresting in the mid-nineteen-nineties among Michaela's many variants. It reads as an of-its-era respelling rather than a distinct name.

Did you know? Mickala carries the old rhetorical question inside Michael — 'who is like God?' — in a breezy modern spelling.
