Mikhaila

Mikhaila is a feminine given name. It is a variant spelling of Michaela and related forms such as Michaella or Mikayla, used in English-speaking contexts as well as in some Slavic-language communities. The name is generally derived from Michael, a Hebrew name traditionally interpreted as meaning “who is like God?”

In usage, Mikhaila appears as a modern given name rather than a traditional or historical one, and it may be encountered across different countries and cultures as surnames and given names blend in multilingual settings.

Notable people with the name include Mikhaila Peterson (born 1992), a Canadian-American writer, blogger, and public figure. She is well known for sharing her personal health experiences online and for advocacy related to dietary approaches she attributes to her health outcomes. Peterson is the daughter of psychologist Jordan Peterson, and her public activity has contributed to discussions surrounding health, nutrition, and lifestyle in online communities.
