===Name origin=== | |||
Munchlax's name is a combination of ''munch'', to chew on food, and ''lax''. Its Japanese name is likely a combination of {{p|Snorlax}}'s Japanese name, ''Kabigon'', and ''baby''. It may also be from 権兵衛 ''gonbee'', popular Japanese name for peasants in the old days. Its Korean name, ''Meokgoja'', literally translates as "eat and sleep". | Munchlax's name is a combination of ''munch'', to chew on food, and ''lax''.
