Answer 2

True, the name "Moses", or "Mosheh" in Hebrew, is derived from the root word "masheh", meaning "to draw out"; however, the name applies to "one who draws out" not to one who has been drawn out [of the water]--as the babe in the bullrushes.

Of course, the Egyptian suffixes "moses", "mose", and "mes" form the second syllable of the names of many Egyptian pharoahs, for instance, Ahmose, Thutmoses, and Ramses. Accordingly, some scholars speculate that the Bible is attempting to substitute an Israelite name for an Egyptian one, but the Bible just might also be making a play on words since an adult Moses did draw the Hebrews out of Egypt by way of the Red (or Reed) Sea.

The surname, according to Ancestry.com, has its place of origin in many diverse places:
Germany 501
England 210
Russia 90
Preussen 84
Poland 62
Great Britain 46

As a North American family name, Ancestry.com suggests that "Moses" has absorbed forms of the name from other languages, for example, "Moise" and "Moshe". Ancestry.com also notes that the name may denote either Jewish, English, or Welsh ethnicity. Dissenters in Wales adopted the name Moses as a surname during the 18th and 19th centuries.
