He was a Jewish Philosopher
He wass a Jewish philosopher who beleived the importance of reason.
Moses Maimonides was born on March 30th, 1138 in Cordoba, Spain.
Maimon derives from Moses Maimon (Maimonides).
While Maimonides did not have an older brother, he did in fact have a younger brother named David. Since his father was also Maimon, he would also be known as Maimonides. David Maimonides was a merchant, and supported his brother Moses Maimonides while the latter learned. Tragically, David drowned at sea, causing Rabbi Moses to make his own living as a doctor, which he did admirably in Egypt caring for Salah-a-din's harem, generally treating them for STD's and such. David's death was taken hard by Moses, but he kept going, learning, and working, sleeping about 2-3 hours a day and living to the age of 67.
In the Sefer Hamitzvot, Moses Maimonides listed 613 commandments found in the Torah. Please see the link below.
In "Night" by Elie Wiesel, Maimonides refers to the 12th-century Jewish philosopher and scholar Moses Maimonides. He is mentioned in the book as a source of inspiration and guidance for Elie Wiesel during his struggles in the concentration camps. Maimonides' teachings on faith, ethics, and perseverance resonate with Wiesel's own reflections on the Holocaust.

No direct relationship, since Samuel lived about 400 years after Moses and was not a descendant of his. However, they are connected in that both were major Prophets and leaders of their respective generations, both were Levites, and both were among those who transmitted the Israelite traditions to the following generation (Maimonides, introduction to the Yad).
