ArchivesRe: Feminine form of Moshe
in reply to a message by lac
According to these websites it seems that in Hebrew there are several feminine forms of Moshe:
"Q) My daughter was named after my father whose name was Moshe. (...)
A)(...) In the book that I consulted, Davida doesn't appear although "Daliah" and the most popular feminine form of Moshe-- "Masha" do appear."

I don't know, however, if Masha is an independent name used as feminine form of Moshe because of formal similarity (that is very usual) or it is really a feminine form.
"Masha - the name "Musha", a female version of Moshe (Moses), may have been Anglicized into Marsha."
