It's Irish and goes back to the archangel Michael.

Most people think that the name Michael/Michaela is Irish. I'm guilty of being one of those people. It actually isn't. Its Hebrew. It means "who is like the Lord'. Michaela is the feminine form of Michael. The most common form used today is the French variation, which is Michelle.

Michaela is a popular name for girls these days. It's a feminine variation of Michael. For future reference the el suffix usually denotes a name of Hebrew (Biblical )origin, Daniel, Gabriel,Nathaniel etc.

It must be the female derivative of what I think is a Hebrew name: Michael actually pronounced Mee-ha-eel.
Do not forget that most of the Biblical names are Hebrew including Jesus.

Joyce's wright. I only have to add that it's used also in Italy with the male form 'Michele', 'Mee-kèh-leh', and female form 'Michela', 'Mee-kèh-lah', (where 'eh' sounds like in the word 'end'). There is also a famous double name with Michele: 'Michelangelo' that means 'Angel Michael'. We pronounce it 'Mee-kehl-àhn-dzeh-loh'. Ciao.
