Moxy Fruvous anyone?

[Moe]

I was just listening to a musical group of this name when, for some reason, it occurred to me to wonder what Moxy Fruvous actually means. Is it Latin or something?

Well, from thissite:

2. What does “Moxy Fruvous” mean?
   Mike: Many, many people come up to us after shows and ask us “where’d you get your name”?
   Jian: Or sometimes, or more usually, it’s “where’d you get your stupid name.”
   What does “Moxy Fruvous” mean? Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Anything you want it to. “What is the sound of one hand clapping”? It’s a couple of nonsense words, two great tastes that taste great together, a happy coincidence, a fun sound, and to fans’ everlasting delight, some gibberish that lends itself imminently to wordplay. If you ask Fruvous what their name means, you’re likely to get a strange look (or several) or a cryptic reply.

So, apparently, not too much.

If you spell Moxy as “Moxie,” you’ll find that it’s the name of a strong tasting soft drink, as well as a sort of courageous attitude.

Thanks Alice! I was just introduced to them the other night by friends and the subject of the origin of their name came up.
Great stuff! reminiscient of They Might Be Giants.
