It doesn't mean anything. When I was choosing a Klingon name form myself,
I decided against transliterating or, worse, translating "Steven
Boozer". That would have resulted in something like {mIv'a' chechwI'}
"crown drunkard" (Steven/Stephen < Greek *stephanos* "crown")! Instead, I
combined two names I heard in two different TNG episodes: Vagh and
Moragh. I like it and it sounds like a name you might actually hear on the
show.
