Mikella

Meaning of Mikella

Mikella (pronounced mee-KEL-uh /miˈkɛlə/) is a feminine given name rooted in the Hebrew Mikhaʼel (Michael), translating to “Who is like God?”, and functions as an orthographic variant of Michaela that juxtaposes the Latinized feminine suffix -ella with a consonantal k for phonetic precision—an alignment with contemporary Anglo-American naming conventions favoring technical exactitude. Examination of U.S. Social Security Administration records from 1979 through 2024 reveals a stable yet modest adoption rate, with annual occurrences oscillating between five and eighteen and national popularity ranks fluctuating between 794 and 982; its zenith occurred in 2004 and 2005 (eighteen births each), while in 2024 it recorded nine occurrences and a rank of 941. These metrics underscore Mikella’s classification as a low-frequency choice, appealing to parents who prioritize both etymological depth and orthographic distinctiveness without resorting to mainstream appellations.
