Yes, the feminine form is a diminutive form.As far as I know, It is the femenine form from Mikahil or so (I was a bit distracted by the Assets of the girl, who explaind it to me a long time ago when we were dating)
Michelle is the diminutive form of Michael.
Mischa is the diminutive form of Mikhail.
There are a number of men who also go by Mischa (No. 2 in the East German Stasi, Markus Wolf, was known as Mischa), so it's not strictly feminine.
It is strictly diminutive.
