Who is like God?
Machai is a modern phonetic variant of the Hebrew name Michai, which is a shortened form of Michael. It carries the rhetorical question 'Who is like God?', implying that no one is equal to the Creator. While rare, it has gained some traction in the US as a contemporary alternative to Malachi or Micah.
About 13 boys were named Machai in 2025.
