Moz is a brisk modern diminutive that functions as a standalone given name, chiefly in English-speaking countries. It most often shortens Moses (Hebrew Moshe, “drawn out [of the water]”) or Maurice/Morris (from Latin Mauritius, “dark, Moorish”), and it can also arise from surnames and stage names such as Mozart or Morrissey. In Arabic, mūz (موز) means “banana” and sometimes surfaces as a playful nickname, though it is not a traditional personal name.

As a recordable first name, Moz is rare but visible from the late 20th century onward in Britain, Australia, and the United States, fitting contemporary tastes for punchy, two- or three-letter names. Variant spellings and relatives include Mos, Mozz, Moze, Mo, and Moe; longer forms include Moses/Moshe, Maurice/Morris, Mauricio, and Mauro. Meaning depends on the chosen origin.
