History and Origin
Micah (/ˈmaɪkə/; Hebrew: מִיכָה, Modern Mikha Tiberian Mîḵā) is a given name.
Micah is the name of several people in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), and means "who is like God?". The name is sometimes found with theophoric extensions. Suffix theophory in Yah and in Yahweh results in Michaiah or Michaihu (Hebrew: מִיכָיְהוּ, Modern Mikhayhu Tiberian Mîḵā́yhû), meaning who is like Yahweh? Suffix theophory in El results in Michael (Hebrew: מִיכָאֵל, Modern Mikha'el Tiberian Mîḵāʼēl), meaning "who is like God?".
In German and Dutch, Micah is spelled Micha and the ch in the name is pronounced either [ʃ] or [x]; the first is more common in female names, the latter in male names. The name is not as common as Michael or Michiel.
Biblical: Hebrew name meaning ‘who is like (Yahweh)?’, and thus a doublet of Michael. This was the name of a prophet, author of the book of the Bible that bears his name, and which dates from the late 8th century BC.
