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.
