mi.kah is used as a personal name in genealogies, a household notice, and a list of names.

The term is attested as a proper personal name: it identifies a young son in 2 Samuel 9:12 and occurs within ancestral lines in 1 Chronicles 9:15 and Nehemiah 11:22; Nehemiah 10:12 places it in a list of names.

    The supplied morphology marks the form as a proper noun throughout. In 2 Samuel 9:12 the APB renders a young son as “named Mica”; in 1 Chronicles 9:15 and Nehemiah 11:22 it occurs in lines identifying Mattaniah, while Nehemiah 10:12 renders a sequence of names.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly presents the name in 2 Samuel 9:12 as “Mica” and includes it in genealogical wording in 1 Chronicles 9:15 and Nehemiah 11:22. In Nehemiah 10:12, the supplied translation gives only a sequence of other names, so its treatment of this term is not isolable from the verse text.
