Victreebel seems to be a combination of ''victory'' (corrupted to make a pun on ''tree'') and ''bell'' (referring to its bell-like shape). The maximum number of characters possible to make up a Pokémon's name is ten, and this is likely the reason for the misspelling of ''bell'' as ''bel''.

Utsubot is derived from 靫葛 ''utsubokazura'' (pitcher plant). It may also be based on 壷 ''tsubo'' (jar) or ポット ''pot'' (relative to ''bot''), referring to its shape.
