Being a nerd I have always fallen back on the acronyms.  I have always used
Mechanically Enhanced Combat Heavy Armor for MECHA.  Although I have never
seen this in any other source (anime etc..) it seems to work for me.

It is spelled with a "ch" because it is derived from a non-japanese word
(hence it being written in katakana).  It is probably derived from mechanical,
but I don't know that for sure.  :)
