Well, Morgen (not Morgan) is an old Prussian unit of area equal to 25.5 a,
at least in 1932. So, wouldn't a centimorgen be equal to 0.255 a, or 255
ma? I'm sure they are not the same thing. But, the old Prussian unit was
the closest that made sense.

Keiner ist hoffnungsloser versklavt als derjenige, der irrt�mlich glaubt
frei zu sein.
There are none more hopelessly enslaved then those who falsely believe they
are free!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)
