About Moshe
Moshe is the original Hebrew form of Moses, also spelled Mosheh. In the past it was changed to names like Morris, Moe and Maurice.
The original Moshe has been drifting up the US popularity list for half a century now, as parents become more interested in names that have not been Anglicized. More than 600 baby boys were named Moshe in the US last year.
Moshe is also given to girls.
Pronounced MOH-shuh.
As of October 2026, Moshe ranked #15076 in US births in 1996 SSA, peaked at #11672 in 1982.
