Seaking's name is simply a combination of ''sea'' and ''king'' (seeking?). Its Japanese name may be based on 小豆鱒 ''azukimasu'', {{wp|rock cod}} and 魔王 ''ma-ō'', devil king. Interestingly enough, its Japanese name may also be taken to literally mean 東王 ''azuma-ō'', East king. Furthermore, an アズマニシキ ''azumanishiki'' is a kind of goldfish. Likely the name is meant to compliment Goldeen's queenliness with a combination of the Azuma Nishiki (東錦) goldfish and the Japanese word for king, ''ou'' (王). | Seaking's name is simply a combination of ''sea'' and ''king'' (seeking?).
