Who is like God?
Makay is a modern phonetic variant of the Hebrew name Michael. It reflects the rhetorical question 'Who is like God?', implying that no one is equal to the divine. While rare, it follows the trend of using 'K' sounds and 'ay' endings in contemporary American naming.
Fewer than 5 boys were named Makay in 2025.
