Samurott's name comes from ''samurai'' and ''otter''. ''Daikenki'' seems to come from 大 ''dai'', meaning large, and 剣 ''ken'', meaning sword. Similarly 大剣 ''taiken'' also means large or long sword. The latter half of the name, ''kenki'', may also come from 剣鬼 – a word used to refer to a very skilled swordsman, literally meaning ''sword-wielding demon''. The 大 ''dai'' in Daikenki may imply a lineage within its final evolutionary line, with Samurott being the eldest of the brothers. | Samurott's name comes from ''samurai'' and ''otter'' or ''water''.
