Piplup's Japanese name may be derived from 坊っちゃま ''botchama'', meaning [[wp:Child|child]], with the ''P'' perhaps coming from ''[[wp:Penguin|penguin]]''. It may also be based on ぽちゃぽちゃ ''pochapocha'', which means either splashing in water or having a plump appearance.  Alternatively, it may be derived from obotchama (おぼっちゃま, obotchama), a term that refers to children with wealthy parents.
