History & Origin

Mikylah is a contemporary spelling in the Michaela and Mikayla family, from Hebrew Mikha'el, 'who is like God?'. It adds the decorative final -h that has become a hallmark of modern American girls' names, without changing the pronunciation (said 'mih-KY-luh').

It appears only rarely in the U.S. Rare spelling, familiar root.

Did you know? The silent final -h is one of the signatures of modern American girls' naming — Norah, Ivah, Mikylah — a small flourish that changes the look but not the sound (said 'mih-KY-luh').
