Origins of Mich

It is pretty common for new users to be unfamiliar with the meaning or pronunciation of Immich. In fact, a few users once asked the team if the original author's name was Mich, as then Immich could have been pronounced "I'm Mich". While not true, it turned into a fun joke. Internally, we actually have a server named Mich, and so naturally it was an early frontrunner for a mascot name.
