Meowth's name appears to be a combination of ''meow'', the sound a cat makes, as well as ''mouth'', possibly referring to the [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|anime version's]] gift of gab. ''Nyarth'' is similar, with ''nyā'' being the Japanese equivalent of ''meow''. | Meowth's name appears to be a combination of ''meow'', the sound a cat makes, as well as ''mouth'', possibly referring to the [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|anime version's]] [[talking Pokémon|gift of gab]].
