It depends where you look. Some places say Moses is the Hebrew name.

Thank you. That's what I thought. The article kind of confused me when it said the writing had Semitic roots. Ive always equated Semitism with Hebrew-ism . If that's a word.

There probably wasn't a whole lot of difference in whatever language Egyptians spoke and what language Hebrews spoke back then. I guess Moses could've been bilingual.

A lot of Biblical characters seem to have multiple names:
