Munchausen is a common anglicization of Münchhausen. Used, for example, in Terry Gilliam's The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (imdb
), which, I assume, directly inspired the naming of this trope.

A diphtong is a sound consisting of two vowels. The word you’re looking for is “digraph.”

This badly needs a rename. The two medical syndromes are far more known these days, and anyone not familiar with the film? that inspired the trope will have no idea what this is about.
