Kakkarot

Kakkarot is a name originating from the popular manga and anime series Dragon Ball. In the series, Kakkarot is the birth name of the protagonist, Goku. He was given this Saiyan name by his father, Bardock, before he was sent to Earth as an infant. The name is significant within the Saiyan culture, as it is the traditional naming convention for members of the Saiyan race, who are a warrior alien species.

On Earth, Goku was found and adopted by Grandpa Gohan, who renamed him Son Goku, a name derived from the Chinese mythological figure Sun Wukong. This dual naming highlights Goku's alien heritage and his Earthly upbringing. The name Kakkarot is often used by other Saiyans in the series, such as Vegeta and Frieza, to refer to Goku, emphasizing his Saiyan identity and their shared species. It serves as a constant reminder of his origins and the powerful Saiyan warrior he is destined to be. The pronunciation and spelling of "Kakkarot" are consistent throughout the Dragon Ball franchise.
