Interesting. I thought the name (a Biblical one) is a variant spelling of Micaiah -- which is pronounced mi-KA ya -- an Old Testament prophet mentioned I Kings 22 and II Chronicles 18. The name is also found spelled Michaiah in the Bible, but pronounced the same as above. There were more than one person by this name mentioned in the Scriptures.
