Ku Klux Klan

I've always wondered..I know Ku Klux Klan is not English. Does anyone know the translation or what it means/stands for?

Posted on KKKlan.com:

"Since I get so many e-mails asking this question I'll answer it here: The name "Ku Klux Klan" comes from the Greek word "kuklos" which means wheel, circle, or band and the word "clan", which means family. It has no special, secret, or mystic meanings at all. That's all there is to it."
