Actually the origin of the brand name is equally fascinating. It is,
perhaps, related to the reason why a famous video game of the 1980's
involving a large monkey ended up being known to the English-speaking
world as DONKEY Kong.

I just told this to my teenaged son (who really liked that game when he was
younger) and he said, "I always wondered what that name was all about."

I just assumed they meant it to be "MONKEY Kong," or some such thing.
