The name Moses comes from the Hebrew name Moshe. The meaning is not known for certain. It could be derived
from the Egyptian word "mose" meaning "child, son". Another popular theory is that it was derived from the Hebrew word
"mashah" meaning "drew out [of the water]" (the biblical Moses was drawn out of the Nile by the pharaoh's daughter).
