Mikaylah

Mikaylah is a feminine name that represents a modern spelling variation of Michaela, which is the female form of Michael, meaning 'who is like God?' in Hebrew. This contemporary spelling emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s as part of the trend toward unique spellings of traditional names. The additional 'y' and 'h' give the name a more distinctive appearance while maintaining its melodic pronunciation. Mikaylah peaked in popularity in the United States during the early 2000s but never reached extremely common status. The name blends biblical heritage with a modern flair, making it appealing to parents who want a recognizable yet somewhat individualized name for their daughter.

Pronounced mi-KAY-luh.
