Shaymin (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Its name is possibly a combination of the Chinese 謝 ''xiè'' (thanks/gratitude) or ジェイド ''jeido'' (jade), which is one of Shaymin's most dominant colors, and 蝟 ''harinezu'''mi''''' (hedgehog). Its name could also be a combination of ''shay'' and ''vitamin''. Also, the word "shaman" can be pronounced like Shaymin, so it may be like a mythical shaman. In addition, the name Shaymin may be a corruption of the Hebrew word Shamayim, which means "sky" and is the name of the first heaven in Jewish mysticism. This correlates directly with Shaymin's Sky Forme. It may also relate to its species name, the Gratitude Pokemon, using the words "Shame" and "in", telling it shows no shame, but gratitiude.
