It is definitely czech. What is more, I have checked it in czech pages and found names like Pavel Michálka, Jiøí Michálka, František Michálka, Miloš Michálka, Bohumil Michálka, among other.
probably from Czech, the meaning is something like litlle michael, Czech use pet forms of names for surnames Peterka, Jozifek, Pavelka etc
Is it in Czech, whether. So, pronounce "mee-khal-kah" (shortly), maybe.
It looks like a Russian surname. The word "michalka" means "broom" in Russian, but I'm not definite about if that's really the meaning of the surname, it's just a suggestion.
I can't belive it is a Russian surname. "Michalka" doesn't mean anything in Russian (Mochalka means spong, broom is "Metla" or "metelka").
Most or R. surnames end in -ov/-ova, -ev/-eva, -yh, -in/-ina, -iy/-aya or -ovich,-chenko in case the bearer is originally from Ukraine.
