Its etymology is uncertain; it may be a transferred use of an English surname, which was a diminutive of the medieval given name Mogg (a pet form of Margaret), or simply a modern invention echoing names like Maddox or Jaxon. Due to its recent coinage and lack of historical depth, any claimed meaning is speculative.
