Meaning & origin
Miquela is a modern English feminine name, a variant of Michaela. While it never ranked in the top 1000 in the U.S., its peak year was 1997, when the name saw its highest recorded usage. Since then, it has remained stable with sporadic births. The name reflects the fashionable -ela suffix seen in names like Isabella. Its spelling distinguishes it from more common forms like Michaela or Mikayla. The name has not been associated with any particular region, with no top states recorded.
Miquela is a variant of the name Michaela, itself the feminine form of Michael. Michael derives from the Hebrew name Mikha'el, meaning 'who is like God?'. The name Michael appears in the Bible as an archangel, and its feminine forms spread throughout Christian cultures, with this particular spelling emerging in the 20th century.
