Mossie, derived from the Irish name Moisé, is an uncommon but distinctive given name of Irish origin. It is a form of Moses, which means 'drawn out' in Hebrew. While Mossie is more commonly used as a surname, it has been recorded as a given name in Ireland and among the Irish diaspora. The name gained some recognition through historical figures like Mossie King, an Irish athlete, and Mossie Twomey, a prominent Irish republican.
"Mossie was quite popular among parents during certain periods, with peak years like 1918 (33 births) and 1921 (35 births). However, its usage declined significantly over time, with the last notable year being 1962 (5 births), after which it seemingly vanished from baby name trends."
