-Munna may be a combination of 夢 ''mu'' [''{{wp|Kanji#On'yomi (Sino-Japanese reading)|on'yomi}}''] (dream) and ''luna'' (Latin for ''moon'') or 花 ''hana'' (flower). It may also involve ムシャムシャ ''mushamusha'' (onomatopoeia for eating, as it eats dreams), in line with the name of its evolved form, {{p|Musharna}}. Other possible references include ''{{wp|Mana}}'', which is mainly a concept for supernatural powers in many Pacific Islander cultures, and the Finnish ''muna'' (egg), as the Pokémon is egg-shaped. Its localized pronunciation, as featured in English media, suggests ''moon'' as a word of origin, and could thus be a combination of ''moon'' and one of the other examples ending with ''-na''.

Other possible references include ''{{wp|Mana}}'', which is a concept for supernatural power in Melanesian and Polynesian culture, and ''muna'' (Finnish for egg). Munna, along with Musharna, may also reference the concept of "Munen" or "Mushin" in {{wp|Aikido}}, meaning "no-thought", where the conscious mind acts instinctually.
-There is also a concept in Aikido called "Munen" or "Mushin" that roughly translates to "no-thought", where the conscious mind becomes instinctual and without being preoccupied by other thoughts. Instinct is a large part of what dreams are like, and given the names of its evolved form, {{p|Musharna}}, its name could be inspired by the name.
