Moe

Delivered or saved; also a diminutive of various names.

As a standalone name, Moe most often functions as a diminutive of Moses (Hebrew for 'delivered from the water') or Maurice (Latin for 'dark-skinned'). In modern usage, it is frequently a nickname-turned-given-name with a mid-century vintage appeal. It is also used as a feminine name in Japan, where different kanji can mean 'bud' or 'sprout'.
