Hi strippinchicken,

Moiken is a pet form of the Frisian name Moi (-ken is a Frisian diminutive ending).

---

Moi is a Frisian short form of Old High German names containing the name element -mod/-mut, e.g. Almut. (Old High German muot = 'mind, spirit').

It is also a variant form of Maiken, which is a Low German and Frisian pet form of Maria and Old High German names containing the name element Mein-/Megin-, e.g. Meinhild (Old High German megin = 'strength')

Also, in Low German / Frisian, the name sounds like 'little nice one', as moi in Frisian and Low German is the word for 'nice, mild'. But that is not the original meaning.
