It means "Born of a god" and it is originaly an Egyptian name
By way of a very complicated path, it means something like "withdrew".
The name is Biblical in origin. At the beginning of Exodus, Moses is placed in a basket as a newborn infant and floated in the Nile. Pharaoh's daughter hears the baby's cry, locates the floating basket, and takes it out of the water. She names the baby "Moses", or in Hebrew "mo-SHEH", explaining its connection with the phrase "from the water I WITHDREW him", and it's the Hebrew word for "withdrew" that gets adapted into the word "mo-SHEH" or Moses.

How was biblical authorship different from the modern conception of authorship?
the Biblical concept of authorship was very fluid. If you wanted to make laws, you would use the name Moses as the author. For example, Moses death and burial is described in one of the books of Moses and we know he didn't write that. Many of St Paul's letters were not written by him, but by his followers. This is not plagiarism.
