Mikiah
Meaning of Mikiah
Mikiah is a gender-neutral given name of Hebrew origin, derived from the biblical Micaiah and carrying the literal meaning “who is like God?” Pronounced /məˈkaɪə/ in American English, it has maintained a consistent though modest presence in the United States since its first appearance in Social Security Administration records in 1991. SSA data reveal that its annual rank has oscillated between the early 800s and mid-900s—peaking at 872 in 2002 with 31 recorded births—before settling around the 940 mark by 2024. Its unisex usage aligns with contemporary naming trends that favor flexibility, while its theological etymology provides a layer of historical gravitas appealing to families balancing tradition and innovation. Despite never breaking into the top 500, Mikiah occupies a stable niche among biblically inspired names, offering parents a subtly distinctive choice without courting undue attention.
