Like God?
Mitch is a short form of Mitchell, which is the English variant of the Hebrew name Michael. It is a rhetorical question meaning 'who is like God?', implying that no one is as great as the Creator. While it was popular as a standalone name in the mid-20th century, it is now more commonly used as a nickname.
