Deliverance or salvation
In Hebrew, Mesha is derived from the root 'yasha', meaning to save or deliver. It is most notably the name of a King of Moab mentioned in the Bible, though it has transitioned into a rare feminine choice in modern times. In some contexts, it is also associated with the Sanskrit word for the zodiac sign Aries.
