How are Martin Luther King Jr and Abraham Lincoln connected?

The two only share a common first name, but their last names are completely different. One is 'Luther' the other is 'King', and one lived in the 1500s, and the other from 1928 (in utero) to April 4, 1968. One was German and the other American. One was white and the other black. They are in no way related if I haven't made it clear enough. Martin Luther King Jr's father, Martin Luther King, was named after Martin Luther.
