Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The Classical Rabbis in the Midrash identify Moses as one of seven biblical characters who were called by various names!.[25] Moses' other names were: Jekuthiel (by his mother), Heber (by his father), Jered (by Miriam), Avi Zanoah (by Aaron), Kehath, Avi Soco (his wet-nurse), Shemaiah ben Nethanel (by people of Israel)!.[26] Moses is also attributed the names Toviah (as a first name), and Levi (as a family name) (Vayikra Rabbah 1:3), Heman [27], Mechoqeiq (lawgiver)[28] and Ehl Gav Ish (Numbers 12:3)[29

We don't know!. The rabbinic tradition mentioned by another contributor is just that - a tradition!. There is no historical basis for it!.

Of course Moses himself is almost a legendary character, so I suppose the rabbinic traditions are as good as any other evidence!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Lots of people do!.
