Sharpedo's name is a combination of the words ''shark'' and ''torpedo''. The first part of its name may also be derived from ''sharp'', referencing its fins and Rough Skin ability | Sharpedo's name is a combination of the words ''shark'' and ''torpedo''.

''Samehader'' may be a corruption of 鮫肌 ''samehada'', sharkskin, perhaps referring to its {{a|Rough Skin}} ability. In addition, its name may be a combination of 鮫 ''same'', shark, and 肌荒れ ''hada-are'', rough skin. Samehada may also reference a creature from Japanese mythology of the same name. Samehada, in the myth, was the partner to the three-tailed demon shark Isonade. | ''Samehader'' may be a corruption of 鮫肌 ''samehada'', sharkskin, perhaps referring to its {{a|Rough Skin}} ability.
