STABLE BOY · GERMAN FORM OF BIBLICAL HEBREW/EGYPTIAN MOSES
🇩🇪

Mose

/MOH · zeh/


“Possibly meaning son”

German form of Moses, a name from the Hebrew Bible. Moses' own origin is debated: it most likely derives from the Egyptian word mes, meaning 'son' (as in names like Thutmose and Ramesses), though the Bible itself links it to a Hebrew word for 'to draw out', a reading many scholars treat as a later folk etymology.
