Combee's English name is derived from ''honeycomb'' and ''bee''. Its name also bears a similarity to "combination", possibly refering to the fact that it is made of three parts. Its Japanese name may derive from 三つ ''mittsu'', three, referring to the number of its honeycomb-like features, or from 蜜 ''mitsu'', honey. The second word is honey, that refers to Combee's origin. Its German name, Wadribie, comes from {{tt|Wabe|honeycomb}}, {{tt|Drei|three}} and {{tt|Biene|bee}}. Its French name, Apitrini, comes from ''apis'', latin for bee, and ''trinity''. | Combee's English name is derived from ''honeycomb'' and ''bee''.
