I figured.
The Egyptian root word ms, usually rendered mose, when the vowels are filled in, means "born to" or "son of" etc.
Hence we get the common theophoric names:
Ramose (Ramesses) son of Ra or born to Ra
Thutmose (Thutmoses) son of Thoth or born to Thoth
Ptahmose son of Ptah or born to Ptah
Ahmose son of Ah or born to Ah.
So "mose" by itself, essentially means "son of fucking nobody."
BTW, the name written into Hebrew is Moshe. "Moses" comes from a Greek convention wherein male names were not permitted to end in a vowel by the writers of the Septuagint.
