Because you misspelled it in a way that's historically amusing!<BR/><BR/>A few generations ago, my last name wasn't "Moenk," but "Moenck." A very German name that got changed to "Moentk" when my great great grandfather went through Ellis Island.<BR/><BR/>We're guessing someone had crappy handwriting.<BR/><BR/>A generation later, my great grandfather lopped off the "T," but didn't add the "C" back. And so two new branches of the family were born as a result of an Ellis Island mishap.<BR/><BR/>As for pronunciation, while meaning "Monk" it's pronounced "Mink" (except for a generation with the "t".. no clue there). Your "Moeck" variation could very well be pronounced "Moke" which is a very Klingon sounding family name. For the record, I find human-klingon hybrid women very attractive (I think I twittered this once), and would consider changing my name to Moeck if I get stuck in cryostasis for a few centuries or get stuck in a parallel dimension where I end up marrying a half-klingon woman.<BR/><BR/>Strangely, I just uncovered a story I hadn't heard before! I just did a search on facebook for "Moenck", and just found out about a branch in Puerto Rico! Weird, considering my mother's Puerto Rican.<BR/><BR/>The story? Apparently when my mother first met my father, she kept trying to spell my father's name as "Moenck" because apparently there was a distant member of the family (that we've never met) in broadcasting while my mother was growing up in Puerto Rico.<BR/><BR/>Ok, wow! Didn't think my quick comment was going to lead to this. My apologies if I just upstaged your blog post. I may have to cross post at this point. ;)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the linking! And congrats on moving towards the money making blogging thing!Timothy Moenkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07953545587693275461noreply@blogger.com
