Moe

Moe comes from a rich tapestry of origins, serving as a diminutive form of names like Moses or Maurice in English. Derived from the Hebrew name Moshe or the Latin Mauritius, it carries a timeless and classic flair. In Japanese, Moe brings a fresh twist with its meaning of 'Sprout, bud', symbolizing new beginnings and growth. This dual heritage gives Moe a unique blend of cultural resonance and charm.

In terms of popularity, Moe had its heyday in the early 1900s, peaking at #612 in 1904. It first entered the top 1000 in 1888 and enjoyed a solid decade-long presence from 1907 to 1916. Over the years, Moe has seen fluctuating popularity, with a significant leap of 3423 spots between 2011 and 2012. However, it also experienced a steep drop in 1993, from #5059 to #8700. As of 2024, Moe sits at #9864, showing its move towards being a more unique choice.

Moe carries an approachable and humorous vibe, making it an endearing choice for those who appreciate names with a touch of playfulness and history. Its short, classic style feels both modern and nostalgic, perfect for someone who values simplicity with a dash of character.
