Correct!

„Moin“ ist ein typisch norddeutscher Gruß und passt zu jeder Tageszeit. Er kommt vermutlich vom friesischen und niederdeutschen Wort für „gut“ und nicht von „Morgen“.

"Moin" is a typical northern German greeting that fits any time of day. It most likely comes from a Frisian and Low German word for "good", not from "Morgen" (morning).
