Origin
Volcarona is based on a moth, particularly the Atlas moth. Conceptwise, it may be based on a solar deity, a type of god said to be able to control various aspects of the sun such as sunrise, sunset, eclipses, position, etc. Its wings may be based on the petals of a tiger lily, having the same number of extensions, black spots, and red-orange coloring. The head and collar of Volcarona bears a strong resemblance to the headpiece of Hathor, which depicts the horns of the goddess cradling a disk representing the sun in between.
Name origin
Volcarona comes from volcano and Corona both referencing its Fire type and its status as the Sun Pokémon.
