Phione's name is likely a combination of the final syllable of Manaphy's name with {{wp|clione}}, sea angels. Clione are remarkably popular in Japanese documentaries, especially in {{wp|Hokkaido}}, on which Sinnoh is based (this may also explain their appearance in [[Chocovine Town]]). Also, like clione, Phione's name is pronounced in three syllables.Phione may also be based on Pleione, A goddess of the water in greek mythology | Phione's name is likely a combination of the final syllable of Manaphy's name with {{wp|clione}}, sea angels.
