Miheeva Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

The surname Mikheev belongs to a large group of Russian hereditary names formed from the personal name of a father or grandfather. The Christian faith brought with it some new names, which were included in the church calendar and were used during a baptism. These include the name of Mikhey (in Hebrew - Micah), the short form of the name Mikhail (Michael). The names Micah and Michael have the same meaning of 'godlike', but in the Orthodox calendar each of them exists independently. In the Bible, the name of Micah is mentioned several times, and its most famous of them was the Prophet Micah, the sixth of the twelve minor prophets, who predicted his birth of Christ 800 years before it.
