Mosie is in Origin.
Mosie is a colloquial diminutive of Moses, from Hebrew Mosheh. The name's meaning is often given as "drawn out (of the water)" from the verb mashah, though scholars also note an Egyptian root ms "born of" in theophoric names like Thutmose. In American usage, Mosie has also arisen as a pet form of surnames Moseley/Mosley and, for girls, occasionally of Mozelle/Moselle. It is sometimes confused with Mosi (Swahili, "first" or "first-born"), but that origin is distinct.
As a given name, Mosie appears in late 19th to mid-20th century U.S. records, especially in the South, used for both sexes but historically leaning male; gospel songwriter Mosie Lister is a notable bearer. The spelling feels homespun and vintage, aligning with nickname-style revivals. Variants and related forms include Mosey, Mosee, Mozie, Mose, and Moses; diminutives include Mo. When derived from Moses, Mosie carries the sense of deliverance or being "drawn out."
