Etymology of MikasWhat does the name Mikas mean? The surname Mikas is likely patronymic in origin, derived from the personal name of the father of the original bearer. In this case, Mikas comes from a short form of Mikusch, which in turn comes from the Slavic personal name Mikolaj. The surname Mikas's association with western Germany and the lands that were once Silesia and Lusatia, now part of Poland, explains it Slavic origin. Early Origins of the Mikas familyThe surname Mikas was first found in Silesia, Lusatia, and Saxony, where the name contributed greatly to the development of an emerging nation which would later play a large role in the tribal and national conflicts of the area.
