"Form of Michaela"
The name Makeila is commonly a female name from the "Latin" origin.
Makeila is a respelling of Michaela, the feminine form of Michael. The -kei- element spells the same middle sound as the -chae- of Michaela and the -kay- of Makayla, so the difference is orthographic rather than a change of origin. The name does not appear in United States birth records before 1994, which fits a modern respelling rather than an older established form.
