Meaning & Origin
A unisex given name. A female given name from Japanese. A unisex given name from Hebrew, variant of Micah.
Mika is a girl's and boy's baby name of Japanese origin, from the Japanese elements mi ('beautiful') and ka ('flower' or 'fragrance'), meaning 'beautiful fragrance' or 'beautiful flower.' It is also used as a Hebrew variant of Micah, meaning 'who is like God.'
Mika works beautifully across Japanese and English contexts — short, melodic, and completely clean in both languages. The Japanese meaning (beautiful fragrance) and Hebrew meaning (divine comparison) both carry a kind of wondering admiration. It's a name of genuine cross-cultural elegance.
