Moses' name was given to him by Pharaoh's daughter: "He became her son, and she named him Moshe (Moses)". This name may be either Egyptian or Hebrew. If connected to an Egyptian root, via msy "to be born" and ms,
"a son", it forms a wordplay: "he became her son, and she named him
Son." There should, however, be a divine element to the name Moses
(bearers of the Egyptian name are the "son of" a god, as in Thutmose,
"son of Thut"), and his full name may therefore have included the name
of one of the Egyptian gods. Most scholars agree that the name is
Egyptian, and that the Hebrew etymology is a later interpretation, but
if the name is from a Hebrew root then it is connected to the verb "to
draw out": "I drew him (masha) out of the water," states
Pharaoh's daughter, possibly looking forward to Moses at the well in
Midian, or to his role in saving Israel at the Red Sea.
