Mykiah is a unique and stylish given name of American origin, derived from the Greek name Michael, which means "who is like God?". The name gained popularity in the late 20th century, perhaps due to its unisex appeal, as it has been used for both boys and girls.

The name's phonetic spelling makes it easy to pronounce and remember, adding to its attractiveness. Spelling variations include Mykaia, Mikaia, and Mykai.
