Micah (; ) is a given name.
Micah is the name of several people in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), and means "He who is like God”. The name is sometimes found with Theophoric name. Suffix theophory in Jah and in Yahweh results in Michaiah or Michaihu (), meaning who is like Yahweh?[New Bible Dictionary, second edition. Tyndale House Publishers, Inc., Wheaton, IL, USA.] Suffix theophory in El results in Michael (), meaning "who is like god".
In German language and Dutch language, Micah is spelled Micha and the ch in the name is pronounced either or ; the first is more common in female names, the latter in male names. The name is not as common as Michael or Michiel. In Finnish language Micah is spelled Miika.
