Hoppip's name is probably based on ''hop'' or ''hip-hop'' or ''hippity-hop'', indicating that it jumps or flys through the air. It may also come from ''pip'', a type of seed. Its Japanese name is a combination of 葉 ''ha'', leaf, and 根っ子 ''nekko'', root. 跳ねる ''haneru'', to jump or hop, and 羽 ''hane'', wing, may also be part of its name. Its German name, Hoppspross, comes from {{tt|hopsen|hop}} and {{tt|Spross|sprout}}. Its French name, Granivol, comes from {{tt|graine|seed}} and {{tt|vol|flight}}.
