ArchivesMisha on females in eastern europe?
My grandparents generation were Polish immigrants. One of the women was named Mischia. She named her daughter Mischia, and my sister's middle name is Mischia after both of them.
Am I correct in assuming Mischia is a variation of Misha? It's just pronounced Meesha.
From everything I've seen on this site and elsewhere, Misha is pretty much a boys' name in Eastern European countries. It is just not a girls' name. So was my aunt's name really Aunt Mike, just a random anomaly? Or was there any kind of female precedent?
