Rampardos's name is a pun, combining the words "ram" (to slam into), "hard", and "{{wp|rampart}}" (a type of fortress). Rampardos comes from the same etymology as the Japanese name; however, it adds on "dos", a common ending for dinosaur names. | Rampardos's name is a pun, combining the words "ram" (to slam into), "hard", and "{{wp|rampart}}" (a type of fortress).
