Sounds like a possible version of Michael.

Micah is a GIRL and a BOY'S name. It is a BOY'S name but my Mom's name is MICAH so I consider it gender-neutral.

It's a BOY's name. It's the name of one of the twelve minor prophets of the Old Testament, which is a MALE.

Micah was a biblical prophet and it is the name of the shortest book included in the King James version of the Christian Bible.
For those that want to argue whether the name is masculine or femanine, historically it is considered as a derivative of Michael, and masculine. I personally have known both male and female Micahs, and chose the name for my own son. Due to modern usage, it can be considered as gender-neutral or unisex as are many other names today, (ie- Terry, Shannon, Taylor, Jamie, Kelly, Jodie, Stacy, Tracy, etc...)

Mica is a feminine version of Michael and I cannot believe anyone would think this name works for a boy. I guess if you want your child to be bullied and tormented you could name a boy Micah. I would personally never do such a thing. Michael is for boys and Mica is for girls. By the way, Mica is a popular name in Europe for GIRLS.

I actually only know girls with the name Micah - spelled Micah. I live in a diverse area so I think that's part of it, which I am glad as I feel the majority of folks who come on here are a bit over the top with their opinions " I would NEVER name my child THAT.." are you flippin' serious? It's 2017 - name your child whatever you want. And if it's so uncommon and gender bending to name a girl a "boys name" - maybe you should get out more. 3 cheers for Micah as a girl's or boy's name - it's beautiful.

It's a feminine name as well, not just masculine. I have a female friend named Micah.

This name isn't for girls. It's a completely masculine name and should stay that way. I could say Benjamin or Jonathan are for girls, but that wouldn't make it so. We don't need any more stolen male names being put on females. If you like the sound of it, spell it Mika so it doesn't look like you're so desperate for a name for your daughter, you decided to use a boy's name.

This name is also used for girls. I've only ever heard it on girls, one in real life and one in a novel.

Um, Micah isn't just a masculine name, it's for girls too.

My brother-in-law is named Micah. I've always known it to be a boy's name, I can't imagine it being a girl's name. It just sounds weird for a girl.
