Maciah
Meaning of Maciah
Maciah, a unisex name of Hebrew origin, emerges as a contemporary variant of Micaiah—“Who is like God?”—imbuing its bearer with a quietly reverent air. Pronounced muh-KY-uh (/məˈkaɪə/), it unfolds in speech with the steady poise of a measured heartbeat, offering parents an alternative that is at once familiar and refreshingly uncommon. Though it has never stormed the upper echelons of the charts, its modest peaks—six children in 1996 (ranked 778) and twenty-two in 2022 (ranked 921)—reveal a steady, if modest, undercurrent of appeal among Anglo-American families. In recent years, Maciah has hovered around the 900-to-925 ranking range, a testament to its niche allure: rare enough to avoid bumper-sticker ubiquity, yet visible enough to spark recognition. Analytically speaking, its gradual upticks suggest an enduring fondness for names that blend classical resonance with a subtly modern twist.
