Dosydon's name is deceptively complex. The ''Do'' part that is at the beginning may be from the word 土 ''do'', which is Japanese for ''ground/soil'', or 怒 ''do'', which means ''anger'', or ど ''do'', the Japanese prefix that makes a noun sound stronger; サイ ''sai,'' Japanese for rhinoceros; and ''don,'' a Greek word meaning tooth, commonly used in the names of dinosaurs. Rhyperior comes from the "Rhy" of its pre-evolutions and "superior", because it is much more powerful than its pre-evolutions. It could also come from Hyperion, a titan god in Greek mythology, since they both have connections with the Earth.
