MOSES. Biblical.
An Anglicized
form of Hebrew Moshe (מֹשֶׁה),
meaning, "great Law-giver," or, if from the Egyptian,
"saved (from the water)."
Moses,
interpreted by the Scripture as meaning drawn out of the water, belongs
rather to the Egyptian than to the Hebrew language. It probably
came from the Coptic mo, water, and usha, saved; though
the Hebrew, mâshâh, also presents a ready derivation: the
great Law-giver... Moses was unused by the Jews while they continued a
nation, but has been very common in their dispersion,... (History of
Christian Names, Yonge, 1884).
