Strong's Lexicon Mikayahu: Mikayahu Original Word: מִיכָיָהוּ Word Origin: Derived from מִיכָיָה (Mikayah), which is a contraction of מִיכָאֵל (Mikhael) and יָהּ (Yah), meaning "Who is like Yahweh?" Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Mikayahu, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the Greek name Michael (Μιχαήλ) in the New Testament, which also means "Who is like God?" (Strong's Greek 3413), shares a similar etymological root. Usage: Mikayahu means "Who is like Yahweh?" It is a theophoric name, incorporating the divine name Yahweh, and is used to express the incomparability of God. This name is often associated with individuals who are seen as faithful or who have a significant role in conveying God's message. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names were often given to reflect the character or attributes of God, or to commemorate a significant event or divine intervention. The name Mikayahu reflects a common practice of embedding the name of God (Yahweh) within personal names, signifying a person's dedication to or relationship with God. This practice was prevalent in the Hebrew culture, where names were not just identifiers but also carried theological and spiritual significance.
