Name Origin
Dewott's English name is likely derived from "dew" (due to its Water element), "dual" (on account of its two scalchops), and "otter."

Dewott's Japanese name, Futachimaru, could possibly originate from "fu" as in Kung Fu (since it carries the design of a Kung Fu warrior with a shield around its waist and tuft of fur atop its head), chi from chibi (since that's a Japanese style of drawing and Dewott's eyes resemble chibi style) and "maru" to have its name similar to Mijumaru, or Oshawott, its pre-evolution. It's also possible that it comes from Futachi, "two" in Japanese, and "maru", just to match Mijumaru.
