Miquela

Miquela is a feminine name that serves as a creative variant of Michaela, which is the feminine form of Michael, a Hebrew name meaning 'who is like God?' The spelling with 'q' instead of 'ch' gives the name a distinctive, modern flair while maintaining its connection to the traditional name. Miquela has Spanish and Portuguese influences, where similar forms are used. The name has gained some recognition in recent years through social media, particularly with the rise of virtual influencer 'Miquela Sousa.' Still relatively uncommon, Miquela offers parents a melodic, multicultural option that feels both contemporary and grounded in tradition.

Pronounced mi-KAY-luh.
