Mica, name of several post-exilic individuals
A personal name appearing in genealogical and administrative contexts, notably as the son of Mephibosheth and grandson of Jonathan (2 Samuel 9:12), ensuring the continuation of Saul's line. The name also appears among Levites in the post-exilic community (1 Chronicles 9:15, Nehemiah 11:22) and among those who sealed Nehemiah's covenant (Nehemiah 10:11). It may be a shortened form of Micaiah ('Who is like the Lord?'), reflecting theophoric piety in personal naming.
