Micheasz
A rare name: only about 60 men in Poland carry it, so most people have never met one. After long stretches with no newborns at all, it's being given again in the 2020s, from the Hebrew for "who is like Yahweh".
Micheasz Pronunciation
Micheasz is pronounced mee-KHE-ahsh (/miˈxɛaʂ/).
What Micheasz means
Where Micheasz comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Micheasz comes from Hebrew, from the question Mikhah: who is like Yahweh. It is the Polish form of the prophet Micah, whose short book stands among the twelve minor prophets in the Hebrew Bible. Micah of Moresheth preached in Judah in the eighth century before our era. His name asks a question and leaves it open.
The fuller Hebrew form, Mikhayahu, spells that question out. Over centuries the shorter form won, and Latin handed it to Polish as Micheasz. Polish records give the name no diminutive of its own. It stays whole.
A Micheasz on a school register in Poland reads as rare today. The name follows the prophet in the church calendar rather than the popularity charts. Whoever bears it bears an old Hebrew question: who is like Yahweh.
When Micheasz celebrates name day
Micheasz appears 1 time in the Polish name day calendar, never as a main name. The first of these dates is 15 January.
Rarer dates. Only the most complete calendars add this name on these days. Most skip them, so hardly anyone celebrates then.
