ArchivesRe: Meaning of
in reply to a message by Mika
A Lexicon of Greek Personal Names (http://www.lgpn.ox.ac.uk/) includes the Mika in its list
of feminine names found in the Attica region in antiquity. I speculate that the name is
related to "mikro" ("small"). Of course it is a fairly pleasant sounding two-syllable name which is
very likely exist in several cultures with other meanings.
It is probably also being used by some a short for Michaela.

I assume "over here" is Sweden? My son is currently staying in Goteborg with his friend Mikael, who was an exchange student at our high school.
The boys here have always pronounced his name "mee-KAYL", and he's not told them differently, but I've heard that's not really correct. What IS the right pronounciation?
