Answer
We are unable to locate an entry for ‘Mishka’ in our dictionaries. A few
close matches are as follows:
1. Mishq (fem. Mishqah – Arabic): tall and thin
2. Misk or Miskah (Arabic): musk
3. Mushk (Urdu): musk
Mishka is common female name among non-Muslim Russians whose meaning we are
not aware of this. It is, thus, doubtful that Mishka is a Muslim name.
Muslim names should proclaim their bearers religious identity without doubt.
