- Moses Meaning
- From the Hebrew name (Mosheh) which is most likely derived from Egyptian mes meaning "son", but could also possibly mean "deliver" in Hebrew. The meaning suggested in the Old Testament of "drew out" from Hebrew (mashah) is probably an invented etymology. The biblical Moses was drawn out of the Nile by the pharaoh's daughter. He led the Jews out of captivity in Egypt and received the Ten Commandments from God. In England, this name has been commonly used by Christians since the Protestant Reformation, though it had long been popular among Jews. Moses originates in Hebrew language and means "drawn out". In the Bible, Moses was a prophet, religious leader and the author of Torah. As a masculine given name its popularity has declined in the United States lately.
