Meaning and history
Micaiah is a Hebrew name meaning “who is like Yahweh?” from the interrogative pronoun מִי (mi), “like” ךְּ (ke), and יָהּ (yah), a reference to the Hebrew God. In the Old Testament it appears in several Hebrew spellings and is used for both men and women. It is the full name of Micah, both the prophet and the man in the Book of Judges, and as a feminine name it refers to the mother of King Abijah in 2 Chronicles 13:2, though she is called Maacah in other passages.
