Misha

The name Misha is Hebrew and the meaning of Misha is 'the one who resembles God’. It is extremely popular in Russia and is considered to be a nickname for either Michael or Mikha’el. Mikha’el translates to ‘who is like El?’ or ‘who is like God?’. In many religions, Michael is an archangel or an angel of the highest rank. Saint Michael was an archangel that is featured three times in the Hebrew Bible, all in the Book of Daniel. He was considered a protector, who took over the leadership of God's armies and defeated Satan and his forces. Though traditionally a nickname for boys, like the popular Russian name Sasha it can be used for either girls or boys. Mischa Barton helped to popularize Misha as a girls' name, thanks to her roles in films such as 'Notting Hill' and M. Night Shyamalan's 'The Sixth Sense'.
