Meaning of the word Pokemon
Question: 21179
What is Meaning of the word Pokemon ?
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
We have heard many suggestion as to the meaning of this
world, which may be exaggerations made up by some people, or they may
rumours spread by competitors.
The correct view is that this is a name that comes from
Japan. It is taken from the (English) words “Pocket monster” and means an
animal that is small enough to fit in one’s pocket. “Pokemon” is an
abbreviation of these two words.
And Allaah knows best.
