Seaking seems to be based on a goldfish, specifically the ryukin and oranda breeds due to its plump body and billowing tail. Its colorful scales resemble the azuma nishiki and shubunkin goldfish breeds as well as the taishō sanshoku and shōwa sanshoku koi fish breeds. Its behavior is reminiscent of the sockeye salmon, whose bodies flush red as they swim upstream and climb waterfalls during their breeding season. Its horn may be a reference to Matsya, a giant horned fish that is one of the avatars assumed by the Hindu deity Vishnu.

Seaking may be a combination of sea and king (as a compliment to queen in Goldeen), and possibly a corruption of seeking (referring to how it seeks out mates and breeding grounds).

Azumao may be derived from 東錦 azuma nishiki (a variety of goldfish) and 王 ou (king) . Taken literally, it means 東王 azuma-ō (east king).
