How Democratic is your name?

[muon2]

I am amused to find that there are actually 132 registered voters in their database named Muon. I might ascribe that to parents who are scientists, but only 50.2% have a college degree which doesn't fit the pattern of the children of parents with advanced education. Is the name used in some foreign language?

Greek?

I found a Chamnan Muon, who in his blog says he is Muon Chamnan.

Nguyen Muon Thi is (was?) a woman soccer player for the Vietnamese women national team.

Muon Srey, originally from Cambodia died in Faribault, Muonesota in 2012.

Pol Pot's 2nd wife was named Muon.

So it's from SE Asia then. The Greek word is just mu, with the -on suffix added by scientists in the 20th century.
