Mosy is in Origin.

Mosy is a modern, rare given name and nickname with several possible roots. In English and Yiddish contexts, it most often shortens Moses (Hebrew Moshe), borne by the biblical lawgiver; pet forms like Mose/Mosie/Mosey gave rise to Mosy. In Irish and British usage, Mossy is a familiar form of Maurice (Latin Mauritius), and Mosy may appear as a streamlined spelling. In East African circles, it can echo Swahili Mosi “first,” sometimes chosen for a firstborn.

Variants include Mosie, Mosey, Mossy, and Mosi; related formal names are Moses/Moshe/Moishe and Maurice/Mauricio. The meaning therefore depends on the lineage: “drawn out [of the water]” (Hebrew), “Moorish; dark-complected” (Latin), or “first/firstborn” (Swahili). Usage has been sporadic in records, chiefly as a friendly, unisex diminutive; contemporary parents may adopt Mosy for its soft sound, cross-cultural feel, and approachable brevity.
