Mykea is of American origin, a modern and unique creation that has gained popularity as a unisex given name in recent years. It is often associated with the popular Swedish furniture retailer IKEA due to its phonetic similarity, but its origins are independent from the company's name. Mykea is comprised of two elements: 'Mike', which is a diminutive of Michael meaning 'who is like God', and '-ea' as a feminine suffix. This gives the name a versatile sound, suitable for both boys and girls, with no specific gender association. Spelling variations include Myka and Mykey.
The name Mykea has seen a fluctuating number of births over the years, with peaks in 1992 and 1995 (both at 8 births), and several years with 7 births each (1993, 1996, 1997, 2000). The most recent data point is from 2007, with 5 births. In total, there have been 55 births named Mykea across these years.
