Names are meant to identify people. Understanding their meaning is neither necessary nor beneficial in order to understand the message of the Quran. Besides, you have no credible source to understand what those names really mean.

For example Ahmed means “The one who has been much praised” and If I say that Ahmed is a good person by nature someone can think about the person who’s name is Ahmed but If I say that the one who has been much praised is a good person by nature then somebody can think of Michael Jackson as well.
We know that the word Musa in Egyptian language means “Newborn”. Please watch the video in the link below
If we take the word “Musa” in the Quran as a newborn then a different meaning of verses can be explained. At least we should research individually because this is a book in which many secrets are still hidden which can be explored.

Quran argues at several places that it was revealed in a clear language that was well understood by it’s direct addressees. Further, it argues that there are no ambiguities within it. If the language of the Quran is understood properly and the meanings of words are determined from their context in a natural manner, it leaves no reason to run through any gymnastics in order to understand the message of God – the whole purpose of the Quran.
If people want to look for miracles within the Quran, they can indeed go through such exercises. However, these exercises always remain at the mercy of human discoveries, and conclusions drawn from them are very volatile. What we know about ancient Egyptian languages is based on inferences we have drawn based on certain artifacts that we have discovered. As we make more discoveries in the future, our understanding of the language might change, invalidating our previous conclusions.
