:In fact, there is no English name origin section at all. Where the English name origin is on other pages, we instead have a duplicate of the Japanese name origin section.

I'm more concerned with the fact it most likely originates from "sylvan", which refers to woods and forests. (Which only adds to the mystery of why it's named such and yet can't be a Grass type....)[[User:FerreTrip|FerreTrip]] ([[User talk:FerreTrip|talk]]) 21:54, 3 April 2013 (UTC) | I'm more concerned with the fact it most likely originates from "sylvan", which refers to woods and forests.

:The word "sylvan" can also refer to a spirit or deity of the woods. It's very possible this was the derivative word rather than "sylph," or it could be both. [[User:Silmina|Silmina]] ([[User talk:Silmina|talk]]) 11:02, 23 September 2013 (UTC) | |||
Sylveon comes from "sylph" the definitions of which are... 1. A messenger from the air. 2. A slender woman or girl. It is pretty much another word for nymph, like in Ninfia. As a side note, most of it's names have origins that specify females. I think we have a genderlock! =) [[User:Team-Eevee|Team-Eevee]] ([[User talk:Team-Eevee|talk]]) 15:25, 18 April 2013 (UTC) | Sylveon comes from "sylph" the definitions of which are... 1.
