Mykala

Meaning of Mykala

Mykala, pronounced my-KAY-luh (/maɪˈkeɪlə/), is a contemporary spelling variant of Michaela— itself the feminine form of the Hebrew name Michael, meaning “who is like God.” Often associated with the archangel Michael, it carries subtle undertones of strength and leadership without veering into the overly familiar. First recorded in U.S. baby-name data in 1984 at rank 788, Mykala peaked near rank 775 in the late 1990s before gradually settling into the lower 900s by 2017. This measured trajectory reflects modest but consistent appeal: it has never risked overcrowding preschool rosters, yet it remains recognizably English in tone. The modernized spelling offers both historical resonance and a touch of individual flair, making Mykala an understatedly distinctive choice.
