Meaning and history
Micha has distinct German and Hebrew uses. In German it is a short form of Michael, from Hebrew Mikha'el, meaning “Who is like God?” In Hebrew, Micha is itself a biblical form corresponding to Micah, meaning “Who is like Yahweh?” Both are theophoric rhetorical questions but represent related forms. Israeli politician Micha Goldman is a notable bearer; in German-speaking countries Micha is more often an informal form of Michael.
