Its name likely derives from "melody," and a corruption of the word "pirouette", a type of movement in ballet. "-Etta" is also a common, feminine Italian suffix meaning "little," and could be a reference to Meloetta's feminine look and diminutive size. Italian words are commonly used for musical directions and descriptions. Meloetta's name may literally mean "Little Melody." | Its name likely derives from "melody," and a corruption of the word "pirouette", a type of movement in ballet.
