ZeesKite:
not to hijack this thread, but here are some answers to your q.
According to some ancient sources, the name Moshe (or Moses) comes from the Egyptian mo (water) and uses (drawn from) (Josephus, Antiquities 2:9:6, Contra Apion 1:31; Philo De Vita Moses 2:17; Malbim).
“bore”
(See Shmuel 2 22:17, Tehillim 18:12; note on Bereishis 47:11.)
