Moises
Meaning of Moises
Moisés—pronounced MOY-sehs in Spanish and moi-ZES in English—began his journey on the banks of the Nile, as the Spanish and Portuguese heir to the ancient Hebrew “Moshe,” meaning “drawn from the water.” Over the centuries he has traded reed baskets for baseball mitts and guitar strings, flowing gracefully from Scripture to salsa clubs and Little League fields alike. In Latin neighborhoods from Miami to Monterrey, the name carries the quiet swagger of a born leader, forever linked to the liberator who split seas and stubborn ceilings in equal measure. Yet Moisés also knows how to keep things current: U.S. Social Security data shows him surfing the mid-400s wave of popularity in recent years, never dropping out of style, just gliding like a seasoned mariner who trusts the tide. Parents who choose Moisés often say they hear in it both the rustle of ancient papyrus and the beat of a modern bongo—an irresistible blend of faith, resilience, and rhythmic charm that promises a son who can navigate deep waters with a smile.
