Nuzleaf's name may be a combination of ''nuzzle'' or ''nose'' and ''leaf''. Its Japanese name is literally 巨の鼻 ''konohana'', big nose, but more formally seems to be a combination of 木の葉 ''konoha'', leaves, and 鼻 ''hana'', nose or 花 ''hana'', flower. Konohana may also be この 花 ''kono hana'', this flower. | Nuzleaf's name may be a combination of ''nuzzle'' or ''nose'' and ''leaf''.
