Name origin
I think the "Torra-" in Torracat comes from "tora" ( 虎 ), the Japanese word for "tiger", as it's feline and has stripes all over. Nyahiito may derive from "nya", the onomatopoeic Japanese "meow" (also derives from Litten's Japanese name "Nyabbi"), "hi" ( 火 ), Japanese for "fire", and the English word "heat".

‘torrefying wood loses 30% of the mass but only 10% of the energy. Origin Early 17th century: from French torréfier, from Latin torrefacere dry by heat, from torrere parch, scorch. Yamitora1 (talk) 16:47, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
Could also come from the word torrid, meaning really hot when referring to weather. That was my first thought when I saw the name!Magentafeelings (talk) 20:18, 4 October 2016 (UTC) I believe Nyaohiteu (the Korean name) is also a partial transliteration of "Nyahiito" (the Japanese one). It starts with the Hangul letters 냐 (nya) as opposed to 야 (ya) (which would be from 야옹 (yaong). DecafSnorlax (talk) 11:12, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
