What does the "eleki" in Regieleki stand for?

The other Regis have something in their names that represent them. Regirock has Rock, Registeel has Steel, Regice has Ice, Regigigas has… well it created the Regis, so it doesn’t count. Regidrago has Dragon (Sorta.) So what about Regieleki? What is eleki? What’s that supposed to be?

Regieleki’s japanese name is Regiereki. Ereki in Japanese means electricity. Eleki likely means the same thing.

“Regieleki and Regiereki may be a combination of regis (Latin for royal) and エレキ ereki (Japanese for electric).”

Electric

This is how I interpret it, just like Regidrago it’s similar but not completely the same.

Oh, and:

Probably ElectricThe “eleki” in Regieleki’s name probably stands for electric. Eleki already sounds like electric. Game Freak may have changed it into eleki to be a bit different. I mean, Regilectric makes sense too, but I think Game Freak made it “eleki”, as in electric.

Hope I helped!

It’s a word for electricity in Japanese, but it’s short for something else that is its true meaning

“Eleki” or “Ereki” is short for the “Elekiter”, a static electricity generator from the 18th century. It was used in experiments with static electricity and electricity in general.
