Saw this article today - Is this where Moho got its name?

http://www.livescience.com/technology/0 ... drill.html

" Seeking the elusive 'Moho' "

"...."Moho," a boundary formally known as the Mohorovicic discontinuity. It marks the division between Earth's brittle outer crust and the hotter, softer mantle."

Actually, yes. Not for any good reason though - the name "Moho" was just picked randomly from a dictionary.
