Mitchy is in Origin.

Mitchy is an English hypocoristic formed with the -y ending on Mitch, the familiar short form of Mitchell. Mitchell originated as a medieval English and Norman-French vernacular of Michael (French Michel), ultimately from the Hebrew Mikha’el, “Who is like God?” - a rhetorical question expressing the uniqueness of the divine. In speech communities that favor nickname endings like -y/-ie (Britain, Ireland, Australia, North America), Mitchy functions as a warm, casual address.

As a given name, Mitchy is uncommon and mostly modern, appearing in records from the late 20th century onward; it is used chiefly for boys but can be unisex due to its playful sound. Variant spellings include Mitchie and, less often, Mitchee; the base forms are Mitch and Mitchell. Cognate or related names include Michael, Michel, Miguel, Mikhail, and Mitchell. Note that Japanese Michi is unrelated despite the similar look.
