I liked Michael after my best friend, and the Hawaiian name Kai meaning Sea. Then I saw the actor Mekhi and fell in love with the name. I have also searched to no avail. The best I have found is the is seems to be a variant-like most names- of Malachi. Find that meaning, and use that! :)

HI MY SONS NAME IS MEKHI TO. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THE MEANING AND ORIGIN ALSO. I WAS SEARCHING AND FOUND THIS SO I FIGURED ID LET YOU KNOW I CANT FIND THE MEANING EITHER OR ANY INFORMATION ON IT EXCEPT IF YOU GO TO KALABARIANS.COM I THINK THAT IS THE WEB SITE IT WILL TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT I DID A YAHOO SEARCH FOR BABY NAMES AND IT WAS ONE OF THE SITES THAT WAS LISTED, IF YOU DO THE SAME YOU'LL FIND IT. IT WASN'T WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR BUT AT LEAST ITS SOMETHING. EMAIL ME BACK IF YOU WILL AND LET ME KNOW THAT YOU GET THIS.

The name Mekhi reminds me of actor Mekhi Phiffer(sp?). It has always reminded me of Malachi, but I don't know.

Hi Samantha,
I couldn't find Mekhi, but Shayla can be a form of
1) Sheila (Celtic form of Cecilia)
2) Shea (Celtic name: daughter of Séaghdha [like a falcon]
3) Shahla (in Afghanistan [don't know which language] this means: beautiful dark eyes)

No offence, but why on earth would anyone name their kids after unknown words?
