Moise

Meaning of Moise

Moise is a masculine name of biblical origin, ultimately derived from the Hebrew name Moses and transmitted through French and Romanian. In French (mwa-ZE /mwaz/) and Romanian (moi-SEH /mojˈse/) it retains a succinct, two-syllable form that underscores its ancient pedigree. The name evokes leadership and deliverance, qualities associated with its storied lawgiver. In the United States, Moise has remained a relatively uncommon choice, with annual tallies typically in the low double digits and a ranking near the 900th position; in 2024, 17 boys received the name, placing it at number 907. Though far from a mainstream selection, it offers a quietly assured presence for families seeking a name that is both distinctive and steeped in tradition.
