Altaria (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Altaria may be a combination of ''{{wp|alto}}'' (Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian for ''high''; musical {{wp|Part (music)|part}} between tenor and soprano) and ''aria'' (Italian for ''air''; musical piece for a single voice). Both words being terminologies used in music relate to Altaria's singing abilities. The name may also refer to the star ''{{wp|Altair}}'', the brightest star in the constellation {{wp|Aquila (constellation)|Aquila}} with the latter's name being the Latin word for eagle.

Tyltalis may be derived from チルット ''Tyltto'' ({{p|Swablu}}). It may also be a reference to the play ''{{wp|The Blue Bird (play)|The Blue Bird}}'' (L'Oiseau bleu) by Belgian playwright {{wp|Maurice Maeterlinck}}, featuring two siblings named ''Mytyl'' and ''Tyltyl'' tasked in finding the {{wp|bluebird of happiness}}. The latter half of the name may be derived from ''{{wp|cockatrice}}'', a mythical creature with a draconic or serpentine body and a rooster's head. It may also involve チル ''chiru'' ({{wp|Ryukyuan languages|Ryukyuan}} for crane) or ''Tyl'' (alternate name of the star {{wp|Epsilon Draconis}}, located in the constellation {{wp|Draco (constellation)|Draco}}).
