Snivy could possibly be a combination of ''snake'', ''snide'', ''sly'' | Snivy could possibly be a combination of ''snake'', ''snide'', ''sly'' and ''ivy''. It may also come from ''snark'', a snide remark, or ''snicker'', a sly or snide laugh. Also, it may come from ''envy'', one of the {{wp|seven deadly sins}}, possibly as a reference towards its possible origin. Tsutarja is possibly derived from ツタ ''tsuta'', {{wp|Parthenocissus tricuspidata|Japanese ivy}}, and 蛇 ''ja'', snake. | ||
