-Starmie is derived from ''star'' (referring to its shape) and ''mie'', which involves 珠 ''mi'' (''gem'' or ''jewel''), referring to its core. In English, ''Mie'' is considered a corruption of ''me'' (the personal pronoun), in opposition to the ''yu'' (you) in {{p|Staryu}}. This pun is not present in their Japanese names; while Starmie shares it name in both languages, Staryu's Japanese name is Hitodeman (roughly "starfish man").
