    Akira Toriyama always based each of his character name with pun intended. Since the Saiyan is originated from Planet Vegeta (Vegetable) then they're more likely to have the name based on vegetables.

    Here you can find name puns on many of the characters from the Dragonball, Z, GT series. Some puns are rather obvious, but we put them in anyways.

    » Dodoria = Chinese Gooseberry
    » Kiwi = Kiwi
    » Rasberry = Rasberry

    » Zarbon = Pomelo

    Theme - Foods & Drinks:
    » Chiaotzu = Dumpling
    » Chi-Chi = Breast
    » Pilaf = Sauteed, Seasoned Rice
    » Gohan = Rice
