Wailmer's name is based on ''whale''. ''Wail'' may also refer to the sounds this Pokémon may create or refer to that whales sing or in this case, wail. Its Japanese name is literally 吠える子, bellowing child, but ''hoeru'' is similar in sound to the English word ''whale'', making the meaning of its name ''whale child''. ''Mer'' may come from the French word for ''sea''. | Wailmer's name is based on ''whale''.
