Origin of the name Micah
Often the beautiful, sonorous and rare name Micah is identified with the very common male name Mikhail. The short name Micah is simply considered by many of us to be a shortened version of the name Michael. In fact, these names are not equivalent, since time immemorial they have existed independently of each other. But they have a common root, a common origin, a common meaning. In ancient Hebrew, the name Michael was common and had the meaning of “one who is like God.” Both of these names came from him.
One of the first bearers of this name is considered to be Micah-Tichovey, the famous prophet. He was a native of the city of Morasfi, located south of Jerusalem. This man began his prophetic ministry in 778 before the birth of Christ. For 50 years, he predicted various events; Micah felt especially clearly the coming misfortunes. Thus, the prophet very accurately predicted the disasters of the Israelites from the invasion of King Sennacherib. Micah notified his relatives about the birth of Christ, the Savior of the world.
