Rhydon may be a combination of ''{{wp|rhinoceros}}'' and ''don''. ''Rhy'' may also derive from the {{wp|igneous rock}} called ''{{wp|rhyolite}}'', alluding to Rhydon's Ground/Rock type combination. ''Don'', from the Latin ''dominus'', may emphasize Rhydon's being the final evolution of its line (pre-[[Generation IV]]), as it is a title akin to ''lord'' in several {{wp|Romance languages}}; ''-odon'', ultimately from ''ὀδούς'', the ancient Greek word for ''tooth'', is a suffix commonly used in {{wp|dinosaur}} names, and so Rhydon's name could be a reference to those prehistoric creatures as well.
