====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Samurott's name comes from ''samurai'' and ''otter''. ''Daikenki'' seems to come from 大 ''dai'', meaning large, and 剣 ''ken'', meaning sword. Similarly 大剣 ''taiken'' also means large or long sword. The latter half of the name, ''kenki'', may also come from 剣鬼 – a word used to refer to a very skilled swordsman, literally meaning ''sword-wielding demon''. The 大 ''dai'' in Daikenki may imply a lineage within its final evolutionary line, with Samurott being the eldest of the brothers.
Samurott is a combination of ''samurai'' and ''otter''.  
 
Daikenki may be a combination of 大 ''dai'' (large) and 剣 ''ken'' (sword); 大剣 ''taiken'' also means large or long sword. It may also involve 剣鬼 ''kenki'' (sword-wielding demon). 大 ''dai'' may refer to Samurott's place in the evolutionary line, as the 'biggest' and therefore the final evolution.
