From Middle English mokken, from Old French mocquer, moquier (“to deride, jeer”), from Middle Dutch mocken (“to mumble”) or Middle Low German mucken (“to grumble, talk with the mouth half-opened”), both from Proto-West Germanic *mokkijan, *mukkijan (“to low, bellow; mumble”), from Proto-Germanic *mukkijaną, *mūhaną (“to low, bellow, shout”), from Proto-Indo-European *mūg-, *mūk- (“to low, mumble”). Cognate with Dutch mokken (“to sulk; pout; mope; grumble”), Old High German firmucken (“to be stupid”), Modern German mucksen (“to utter a word; mumble; grumble”), West Frisian mokke (“to mope; sulk; grumble”), Swedish mucka (“to murmur”), dialectal Dutch mokkel (“kiss”).

* As an English surname, related to Old English muga (“stack of hay”), or alternatively from the verb mock. * As a German surname, spelling variant of Maag. Also from a derivative of the source of "heap" above; compare German Low German Muck. * As a Dutch surname, from Middle Dutch mocke (“wanton woman, slut”) and perhaps West Flemish mokke (“fat child”), also related to the sense of heap above.
