Etymology
Moses comes from the Hebrew name Moshe, which the Bible links to the verb mashah meaning 'to draw out' because Pharaoh's daughter 'drew him out' of the water. Some people also note the name looks like the Egyptian element ms meaning 'born' (as in Thutmose), so the name fits the story of a child saved from the river.
