In summary

Borrowed from Dutch mops (“pug”). Further origin unsettled. Possibly a malicious use of mop (“German; Fritz; Kraut”), an early variant of mof. Alternatively from mopperen (“to grumble”), earlier also moppen, to which compare regional German möppern. The latter is plausible given the seemingly grumpy face of the dog.
