Etymology: Unknown; first attested in 1849. Suggested derivations are:
* Backslang for ekename (compare nickname);
* From Shelta munik, munika;
* From monk;
* Partridge (A Dictionary of Historical Slang) suggests a corruption of monogram, which is suggestive of the sense signature.
* From monarch in the sense 'king or No. 1, and thus with frank egotism, "I, myself".' (The Gentleman's Magazine, Vol. 281, pg. 349.)
Online Etymological Dictionary's entry cites the Saturday Review (London newspaper) of 1857, which noted, "the word has a certain Coptic or Egyptian twang".

pos: noun
examples: Monikers are often composed from other monikers to allow object hierarchies to be navigated based on a textual description of a path.

There are different types of monikers, but the one that deals with object instantiation is the class moniker. A class moniker portrays a class factory.
