The biblical name Meschech (or Mosoch) literally means “He who is drawn by force”. It is the Anglicised version of the Hebrew word, Meshech, meaning, to draw, as in drawing water. In the Bible, Meshech is the name of Japheth’s son (Genesis 10:2 and 1 Chronicles 1:5). Boys called Meschech are often nicknamed Mesh.
