Origin & Meaning
AI-WrittenDerived from the Hebrew Moshe, often connected to an Egyptian root meaning child or born of, alongside the traditional Hebrew folk etymology of being drawn out of water.

The name reads as ancient on an envelope and unexpectedly juvenile on a soccer roster. It avoids the playground clutter of more fashionable Old Testament revivals.
