Moyses Origin and Meaning
The name Moyses is a boy's name of Greek origin.
Moyses is a masculine name representing an ancient variation of Moses, with roots in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin languages. The original Hebrew name Moshe means 'drawn from the water,' referring to the biblical figure saved from the Nile as an infant. This variant spelling was common in medieval Europe and remains used in some Spanish and Portuguese-speaking communities. While the standard Moses is more widely recognized, Moyses offers a distinctive historical alternative with the same rich biblical associations. The name carries connotations of leadership, wisdom, and divine guidance, reflecting the important religious figure who led the Israelites out of Egypt according to biblical narratives.
