Moyse Origin and Meaning

The name Moyse is a boy's name.

Moyse is a masculine name that serves as a variation of Moses, with French and medieval origins. The name derives from the Hebrew 'Moshe,' which possibly means 'drawn out of the water,' referencing the biblical story of Moses being rescued from the Nile. Throughout history, Moyse was particularly used in French-speaking communities and among Jewish populations in medieval Europe. While relatively rare today, the name carries historical significance and religious connotations. Moyse offers a distinctive alternative to the more common Moses, with a slightly softer pronunciation. Its uniqueness makes it appealing to parents seeking a name with historical depth and spiritual connections while standing apart from more mainstream choices.
