Misu is a cross-cultural diminutive with its clearest roots in Romanian, where Mișu serves as an affectionate short form of Mihai/Mihail, cognate with Michael from Hebrew Mikha'el, “Who is like God?” In modern Romania the nickname sometimes stands alone as a given name; it appears in records from the 19th century and is borne by figures such as the painter Mișu Popp. In neighboring Hungary it also occurs informally alongside Misi for Mihály, reinforcing its Central European profile.

Variants and related forms include Mișu (diacritic), Mishu (transliteration), Misi, Mihai, Mihail, and Mihály; feminine cognates are Mihaela and Michaela.
