====Name origin====
Machop's name may be a combination of ''chop'' and ''macho'', which is {{wp|Spanish (language)|Spanish}} for overly ''male''. ''Macho'' has come to mean tough or masculine in English. Like {{p|Mr. Mime}}, this is not reflected in the gender distribution (even though the females are still rarer than males). ''Wanriky'' is a corruption of 腕力 ''wanryoku'' (the 力 is pronounced ''riki'' in some words), physical strength.
