Origin
Venonat is most likely based on a gnat.
Name origin
Venonat's name is likely a combination of venom and gnat, a small insect. Its Japanese name is possibly a combination of こんちゅう konchū, meaning insect, and the word pang, which is the sound that a radar makes, referring to its radar-like eyes. It could also be a shortening of コンパウンド アイ, compound eye, both referring to its eyes and its ability.

- French: Mimitoss - From mignon (cute), mite (moth), and English toss.
