"Who is like God, gift of God"

From Hebrew

Mikayla means who is like God — the most popular creative spelling of Michaela, carrying the archangel Michael's rhetorical question through K-A-Y-L-A. The spelling follows the American pattern of phonetic personalisation. Same archangel heritage, same warrior-of-God fire, maximum visual distinction from Michaela.
