What is the actual meaning behind the name Moby Dick?

It's when a woman with tracheotomy performs oral sex on you but pulls your cock out at the last second, takes the load up her nose, and tilts her head back as far as she can before coughing and blowing the shame juice out of her neck hole.

Moby Dick is actually an anagram. It really is mind blowing that no one has noticed it yet. I had a eureka moment when I first figured it out.

It's likely there was a similarly named whale he heard of while he was a whaler

>Did he invent it on a whim and like the way it sounded? Or is it some strange piece of hermetic Melvillean arcana?

Jesus Christ, the novel's name is not "Moby Dick."
It's Moby-Dick; or, The Whale.

Exactly so. Mocha Dick was a famous albino sperm whale known for his grounds off Mocha Island near Chile. His 'human-like' cunning pretty much made him the most famous whale in Nantucket at the time. There was an account of the whale being killed in 1838, but a decade later the same newspaper that published that original account said that the whale had been spotted again in the Arctic Ocean. It's not a huge leap to see the metaphorical underpinnings of the historical/mythological reality that inspired Melville as a young whaler and later as a novelist.
