Yes sir it is. Des Moines is the state capital of Iowa where the Iowa caucuses are held every four years and serve as a significant early indication of the presidential front runners for political party nominations. Des Moines and the Des Moines River were named by French explorers. It is a French phrase meaning River of the Monks. However, despite several theories the precise reason for naming it is not definitive. So whatever reason they thought maybe a monastery was there I don't know. Anyway, good job sir.
