Moses
English
editEtymology
editFrom Latin Mōsēs, Mōȳsēs, from Ancient Greek Μωσῆς (Mōsês), Ancient Greek Μωϋσῆς (Mōüsês), from earlier Μωυσῆς (Mōusês), from Biblical Hebrew מֹשֶׁה (mōšê). Further etymology is unclear, but it is sometimes conjectured to derive from Egyptian
(msj, “to give birth to”), a common element in Egyptian names of the form ‘[name of deity] is the one who bore him’; or, alternatively, contains Egyptian
(mw, “water”).
