The name was constructed by combining
the Greek "kyklos" (κυκλάς, -circle) with " clan "
The original Ku Klux Klan was created after the end of the American Civil War on December 24, 1865, by six educated, middle-class Confederate veterans from Pulaski, Tennessee, who were bored with postwar routine.

Clan: (the word originally taken from the Highlands), meaning children A clan is a group of people united by kinship and descent, which is defined by perceived descent from a common ancestor. Even if actual lineage patterns are unknown, clan members nonetheless recognize a founding member or apical ancestor.

He thinks he is the KLU KLUX KLAN, and I find him to be annoying, but there is always one somewhere.
