Moses named his son Gershom, meaning "I have been a sojourner in a foreign land", to demonstrate that he was a stranger in Midian. Moses' father-in-law Jethro was from Midian; on fleeing Egypt to escape death from Pharaoh, Moses sojourned in Midian where he shepherded Jethro's sheep before he was called by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt (Exodus 2:21-22).
