What does Mika mean?
2 syllablesOrigin: Japanese and Hebrew

Mika is used as a given name in more than one language, most often traced to either Japanese or Hebrew roots, and its meaning depends on which tradition it comes from. In Hebrew, Mika functions as a short form of Micah, a name built from a phrase meaning "who is like God?" In Japanese, Mika is written with different kanji from family to family, so its meaning isn't fixed the way it is in English.

Short, bright, and easy to call across a yard, Mika suits a pet who's alert and quick on their feet. It works equally well for a compact, curious cat or an agile little dog.
