The spelling of the name "Mischaela" has caused confusion due to its irregularity. Using IPA phonetic transcription, it can be broken down as /mɪˈʃeɪlə/. This indicates that the name starts with a short "i" sound, followed by a "sh" sound, then an "ay" sound, and ends with a short "a" sound. The unusual spelling likely comes from variations in the original Hebrew name, which can be spelled in different ways depending on the transliteration used.
