Micah is a Hebrew name from the Old Testament, derived from the rhetorical question "Mikha'el" meaning "who is like God?" — a shortened form of the longer Michael. The best-known bearer is the biblical prophet Micah, whose book denounces injustice and foretells a future of peace. In modern times, the name is carried by English footballer Micah Richards, a Premier League champion, and American defensive end Micah Parsons. While no major places share the name, it has steadily grown in popularity across Scotland and the English-speaking world since the 1970s, often chosen for its strong biblical roots and soft, melodic sound.
