Pokemon Name Meanings
-----------------------------------Name Meanings-----------------------------------
Most of the characters in the Magic Knight Rayearth series are named after cars… continuing that tradition, Eagle’s Pokémon are also! Though if asked, Eagle will likely wonder what a car is… These kinds of names are very common in the Cephirian system!
Carrera, Eagle’s 1st Pokémon is named after the Porshe Carrera GT. While not actually named after Hikaru, this Pokémon does remind Eagle a good deal of her.
The Commander’s 2nd Pokémon is named Solectria… but will often be shortened to just Sol. This Pokémon’s temperament was so much like a certain Sub Commander that he was named after the Solectria, a Geo Metro car that has been converted to run on electricity.
The 3rd Pokémon is Astina. Due to his unique ability to charm birds and his reserved nature this Pokémon is named after the European Mazda Astina… whose Japanese name is the Mazda Lantis.
The Sentret is named after a Ukrainian auto manufacturer called "Zaporizhia Automobile Building Plant." This also happens to be the same company Eagle's mecha loving engineer, Zazu, was named after.
Fuujin is of course named after Fuu, which is why I have spelled it this way. Fujin is the Japanese God of wind.
Mizuchi named after the Magic Knight of water, Umi. This blue Pokemon not only is in Umi's trademark color but also becomes a dragon type as it evolves. It fits since Umi's Runegod is a blue dragon. In Japanese folklore, Mizuchi 蛟 or 虯 was a river dragon and water deity.
