479.0. "Micah - origin?" by NACAD2::KRISTY (Beware the werewoobie!) Thu Jan 11 1990 23:44

    A friend of mine has a son named Micah.  Does anyone know the 
    story behind the name?  My friend said that they got it from the
    "Rifleman" TV series - it was the name of the sheriff.
    
    Thanks!

479.1MICAH - WHO IS LIKE THE LORDCSOA1::DUMFORDTue Jan 16 1990 14:219
    Hi!  What a wonderful name.  It comes from the Old Testament.  There
    is an entire book in the Old Testament written by the prophet Micah,
    Titled "Micah".  The name Micah means.."Who is like the Lord".  It
    is a short book containing only 7 chapters.  I had chosen this name
    many years ago for my male child, however I am still awaiting a
    male child, or any child for that matter!  I haven't lost all hope
    yet!
