Alomomola comes from ''Mola mola'', the scientific name for the {{wp|ocean sunfish}}, and "Mom", referencing its status as the Nursing Pokémon. In addition, the name also draws from the Hawaiian ''aloha'', meaning "love" or "affection." This is evidenced because of Alomomola's heart-like shape and the ocean sunfish's preference to tropical areas, such as Hawaii. Mamanbou could be derived from 翻車魚 ''manbō'', the Japanese word for the ocean sunfish, and "Mama". | Alomomola comes from ''Mola mola'', the scientific name for the {{wp|ocean sunfish}}, and "Mom", referencing its status as the Nursing Pokémon.
