    More fun names ig:
    The Head of the Char-R Family's name is Brocco Li and his head looks like a broccoli (nice name Togashi)
    The Head of the Xi-Yu Family's is Onion Longbao. His head looks like an onion and "Longbao" probably comes from the chinese word "小笼包" (xiao long bao), which is a chinese soup dumpling that sometimes include onions as an ingredient

    Don’t forget about Aunt Mito Freecss! Grandma is a Freecss too. Not sure if it’s her surname or married name. Not all the Freecss are adventure crazy.

    Kurapika name in brazilian portuguese sounds very similar to "P3n1s Curer/Healer" (Kura = "cura" that means "To cure", while "Pika" is a brazilian slang for male genitals), so it's often a joke among brazilian fandom. I guess that's why his name was changed to "KurapAika" in the first brazilian dub.

    Amazing video, very impressive. My favorite part was Welfin's, the implications were subtle but revealing. I think the insightful names are another proof that HxH is such a great work, I hope it doesn't canceled...
    Also there are many other interesting names as well:
    1. Hisoka Morow
    Hisoka literally means secret in Japanese. Morow might come from Doctor Moreau in "The Island of Doctor Moreau" who is a mad scientist trying to transform animals into humans for his own pleasure. His main reasons were to test his own abilities and the limits of human plasticity, which sounds like Hisoka wanting to test his strength. Doctor Moreau is also almost insanely passionate about human intellect (like Hisoka about strength) and saved the protagonist of the novella for his intellect, like Hisoka helps Gon for his potential. Doctor Moreau is eventually killed by a puma he was experimenting on (he was working on it for a while and said it was promising), and it feels like Hisoka and Chrollo's interactions, foreshadowing that his new victim will kill him.
    2. Illumi Zoldyck
    Illumi very obviously sounds like illuminate. You could argue that he tries to illuminate his family by doing what he thinks is the best for them. The Illuminati was a secret society, but nowadays the word is used in a lot of ways, such as in conspiracy theories. He could definitely be plotting something after the election arc, although it is not clear right now. Also he has the word "ill" in his name.
    3. Milluki Zoldyck
    Millu (miru) in Japanese can mean to see or to look, which fits his position of information gatherer.
    4. Alluka Zoldyck
    In Japanese, "aruka" can mean "is it there," which seems to refer to Nanika's appearances.
    I think Machi can also mean "street" or "true happiness." I find it interesting as in "Hisoka wants true happiness."

      that's a neat observation about the Island of Doctor Moreau. I have also heard the theory that Hisoka's last name was taken from a physicist who developed the Morrow Model in I think the 1960s which is an equation that tries to explain the elastic stress of substances such as plastics. If Togashi actually knew about this physics equation, hats off to him. If he did not and this was a pure coincidence... wow. Either way, pretty cool.

    I strongly suspect that the Hui Gui Rou family name comes from the Uyghurs people, which suffered a demographic and cultural genocide from China since 2014 through the present days, but i'd have to theorize a bit more to understand the connection.
    Great video my friend!!❤

      There is also a lot of chinese influence in some family members names (3rd prince for example) and/or the mafia group surnames

    Pretty sure komacine is a corruption of sew[ing]machine.
    Also Chrollo's name is kuroro in Japanese (or qwroff or something) nothing to do with chloroform...
