Moses (Biblical Greek: Μωυσῆς Mōusês; Koine Greek: Μωσῆς Mōsês),, Moises, Moyses (Koine Greek: Μωϋσῆς Mōüsês), Moishe (Yiddish: משה), Moshe (Hebrew: מֹשֶׁה), Musa (Arabic: موسی), or Movses (Armenian: Մովսես) is a male given name, after the biblical figure Moses. An Egyptian root msy ('child of') has been considered as a possible etymology, arguably an abbreviation of a theophoric name, as for example in Egyptian names like Thutmose ('child of Thoth') and Ramesses ('child of Ra'), with the god's name omitted.
