History & Origin

Mykiah is a feminine respelling of Micah, from the Hebrew Mikhayah, who is like God, the name of a biblical prophet. The Myk- opening and -iah ending give it a soft, girls' finish; it stayed rare, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its high around 2004.

A girl named Mykiah from the mid-two-thousands is young today. It reflects the trend of turning short biblical boys' names into flowing girls' forms, reading as a modern variant rather than a revival, while Micah stays the standard.

Did you know? Micah, the root of Mykiah, is a short form of the same Hebrew question as Michael, who is like God, borne by a prophet of the Hebrew Bible.
