Strong's Lexicon Mikahu: Mikahu Original Word: מִיכָהוּ Word Origin: Derived from מִיכָיָה (Mikayah), meaning "Who is like Yah?" Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Mikahu in the Strong's Greek Dictionary. However, the Greek transliteration of Micah in the Septuagint is Μιχαίας (Michaías), which corresponds to Strong's Greek entry G3418. Usage: Mikahu is a variant of the name Micah, which means "Who is like Yahweh?" It is used as a proper name for individuals in the Hebrew Bible, reflecting a rhetorical question that emphasizes the uniqueness and incomparability of the God of Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes used to convey theological truths or personal devotion. The name Mikahu, like its variant Micah, reflects a monotheistic belief in the supremacy of Yahweh over other deities. This name would have been a declaration of faith in the context of a polytheistic ancient Near East. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origina contr. of Mikayehu, q.v.
