Mischa is a name of Slavic origin, most commonly a diminutive of Mikhail (the Russian form of Michael) meaning “who is like God?” It can also stem from Maria, in which case it carries the meaning “beloved” or “star of the sea.” The name is famously shared by actress Mischa Barton, known for her role in *The O.C.*, and by Russian-born actor Mischa Auer, a Hollywood character star of the 1930s. As a variant of Michael, it shares etymological roots with countless places named after the archangel, from Mont Saint-Michel to San Miguel. Though unisex
