At the risk of taking this weird thread in a weirder direction:
Son Goku: named after the Monkey King from Journey to the West, which the original story arc of Dragon Ball was based on.
Bulma: Or Buruma, girl's gym shorts. Everyone in her family's named after undergarments.
Oolong and Puar: types of tea
Yamcha: Or Yamucha, Dim Sum
Piccolo: The little flute, of course. All of the original Piccolo's henchmen were named after instruments.
Gohan: Rice, or lunch. All Saiyan names derive from vegetables.
Krillin: Or Kuririn, a chestnut. His daughter was named Marron, which is French for chestnut.
Bibidi, Babidi, & Buu: Duh.
