Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : It is possible that it was named for his characteristic, or from the family of Pharaoh. In fact, even the family of Pharaoh did not know what they named him.

The questioner : The name is Hebrew.

The Shaykh : Yes, unless, for example, this was a form of Allah’s honor for him, where He named him what his mother named him...
He said:
[Pharaoh] said, "Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you remained among us for years of your life? ألم نربك فينا وليدا ولبثت فينا من عمرك سنين
[Ash-Shu'ara 26:18]
So the man remained with the king, honored, respected, and exalted.
