Miskha is in Origin.

Miskha is a modern spelling variant of Mishka, a Slavic pet form of Mikhail (Michael), ultimately from Hebrew Mikhael meaning "Who is like God?". In Russian, the affectionate -ka ending turns Misha into Mishka; the same word also serves as a cozy nickname for a bear or a teddy bear, adding the association "little bear." The name has long been a familiar form for boys named Mikhail, but in the anglophone world and South Asia it has become comfortably unisex, often chosen as a standalone given name.

Use spread beyond Slavic languages in the late 20th century; the Moscow 1980 Olympic bear "Misha/Mishka" helped fix the form in global memory. Variants and cognates include Mishka, Miska (Finnish/Hungarian), Misha, Mischa, and Myshka. Miskha therefore carries dual resonances: the theophoric meaning of Michael and the warm, playful imagery of a little bear.
