Details Musa is a direct Quranic name for boys that comes from non-Arabic origins. It is common among Muslims out of love for Prophet Musa (Moses). According to the Jewish Roman scholar Josephus the name comes from ancient Egyptian origins, derived from mo (water) and uses (to save), forming the meaning saved from the water , since when Prophet Musa was an infant his mother put him in the river, which carried him to the Egyptian Pharaoh’s lands, where he was found and saved. Other sources say it means saved or savior .
