Hydreigon seems to be a combination of ''{{wp|Lernaean Hydra|hydra}}'', ''drei'', meaning three in German, and ''dragon''. Both the ''sa'' and ''zan'' in Sazandora seem to come from 三 ''sa''/''san'', or three, a reference to its three heads. The ''dora'' in its name comes from either ''dragon'' or ''hydra'', a possible reference to the multi-headed {{wp|Lernaean Hydra|hydra}} of Greek lore. | Hydreigon seems to be a combination of ''{{wp|Lernaean Hydra|hydra}}'', ''drei'', meaning three in German, and ''dragon''.

The choice of ''dora'' as a suffix may also be inspired by {{wp|King Ghidorah}}, another three-headed dragon based on the Orochi. | ||
