Myc is English in Origin.

Myc is a modern, minimalist nickname most often derived from Michael, the Hebrew name meaning "Who is like God?" (mi ka'el). As a clipped, stylized spelling influenced by digital handles, Myc has appeared since the late 20th century in English-speaking countries. Depending on the source form, it is pronounced either "mike" (a twist on Mike/Myke) or "mick" (parallel to Mick).

Though the three-letter form is new, its parent name has deep roots across Europe and the Near East, with medieval popularity sustained by the archangel Michael. Related variants and diminutives include Mic, Myk/Myke, Mike, Mick, and, more distantly, Micah or Mica. International cognates of Michael (Michel in French, Miguel in Spanish and Portuguese, Mikhail in Russian, Mikael in Scandinavia) underline the breadth of the tradition. Myc can read unisex in contemporary use; note that MYC is also a well-known gene symbol, lending a tech-leaning edge some parents appreciate.
