Honestly KR you aren't far off. If you look at Doc's definition it's a contemporary name so it's a recent creation. In the African-American culture it is not unusual for parents to take product names and then 'tweak' them to sound like the could be of african origin. More power to them but it often hurts my brain when I hear the names.
