Name «Moisa»

The name "Moisa" is a personal name derived from the anthroponym "Moyse". The earliest mentions of this name come from the Prityshyn regions of northern Hungary, where Slavic populations previously resided. For example, in a document from 1215, "Moysa pater pristaldi" is mentioned in the Bihor County. In 1691, the anthroponym "Mojsza" appears in the village of Turc, and in 1715, there is a serf named "Mojsze" in the village of Kosivska Polyana. The name "Moisa" may also have originated as a shortened variant of the name "Moysyn."
