Hi, I've had several researchers ask me where the name "Micajah" comes from and what is it's meaning. Found this link to a good site on the etymology of First Names in case anyone is interested. http://www.pacificcoast.net/~muck/etym.html This list contains Latin words with their English translations...Very useful to decipher old documents http://www.familysearch.org/sg/WLLatin.html by GENEALOGICAL WORD LIST FAMILY HISTORY LIBRARYTM 35 North West Temple Street Salt Lake City, Utah 84150-3400 USA BTW here is the answer to the question on "Micajah" MICAJAH (m) "who is like the Lord?" (Hebrew). This name does not occur in the bible. It is perhaps a learned attempt at creating an equivalent of MICHAEL. Regards, Debbie Fowler micajah@charter.net
