Best Answer

The character Moses who figures in The Bible was given an Egyptian name when he was discovered as a child in a basket among the reeds. The name he received was certainly not "Moses", but the name of an Egyptian god followed by the word ms, which means "born of". On its own it makes no sense, but in the form Thotmes, Amenemes or Rameses (for example) it makes perfect sense : born of Thoth, born of Amun, born of Ra.

The Bible story dropped the name of the Egyptian god, leaving just the ms element, which became Moshe in Hebrew, then Moses in English.

Moses was never a pharaoh, but there were pharaohs with the names mentioned above.
