Dratini is a combination of ''{{wp|dragon}}'' and a corruption of ''tiny''; ''tini-tiny'' is a phrase to indicate smallness. ''-ini'' is also an Italian suffix, applied to a word to imply endearment or smallness. Despite this, it is fairly large for a Pokémon, being {{tt|5'11"|1.8 meters}} in length. The name therefore may be in comparison to the size of {{p|Dragonair}}, whose length is {{tt|13'01"|4.0 meters}}.
