múka

Míka is a name used in Czech and Slovak contexts, primarily as a diminutive or nickname. It is commonly derived from Michaela or Mikuláš and is typically employed in informal speech within families or among friends. The accent on the i indicates a pronunciation close to Mee-ka, with the emphasis on the first syllable.

In addition to its role as a pet form, Míka can appear as a standalone given name in some cases, though this usage is relatively rare and varies by region. As a surname, Míka exists but is uncommon and usually points to Central European origins or ancestry.

Culturally, the form is most closely associated with naming practices in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Outside its home region, Míka may occur among diaspora communities or as a spelling variant of similar names such as Mika.
