Staryu is derived from ''star'' (referring to its shape) and ''yu'' (possible corruption of ''you'', in opposition to the ''mie'' in {{p|Starmie}}). ''Yu'' is also the Chinese word for fish (魚)<!--, while ''mie'' means ''triple branch'' in Japanese, referring to the greater branching of {{p|Starmie}}'s arms (all I get for "mie" is simply "triple", so can we get a proper breakdown of how this works?)-->. | Staryu is derived from ''star'' (referring to its shape) and ''yu'' (possible corruption of ''you'', in opposition to the ''mie'' in {{p|Starmie}}).
