Many different classes of characters in the series have similar name origins/puns. -All of Frieza's henchmen (not including the Ginyu force) are named for fruits (Oran for Orange, Appule for Apple, etc.) -The Ginyu Force are named for dairy products (Ginyu is derived from gyunyu, the Japanese word for milk; Rikuum is from kuriimu the Japanese name for cream, etc.) -The Hercule/Mr. Satan family is named for figures of hell (Satan needs no explanation, Videl is a rearranged spelling of Devil, etc.) -Henchmen of Turles from the Tree of Might are named for types of nuts (Amond for Almond, Kakao is a cocoa bean, etc.) -The Frieza family's names all refer to cold temperatures (Frieza for Freezing, Cooler and King Cold are self-explanatory.) -All Saiyan characters are named for vegetables. -The Tsufuru-Jins (Tuffles in the dub) are named for the Japanese word for fruit (furutsu). Thus, with the two races on planet Vegeta, it's "the fruits versus the vegetables."
