Whis's name is likely derived from whiskey (ウイスキー/''uisukii''), a distilled alcoholic beverage made from fermented grain mash and aged in wooden casks, generally made of charred white oak. The character name drops the last two ''katakana'' from "whiskey" as written in Japanese. This name pun follows the theme of [[Gods of Destruction]] and [[Angels]] being named after alcoholic beverages.<ref>{{Cite web|URL=http://www.kanzenshuu.com/episode/super/universe-survival/characters/|Website=Kanzenshuu|Title="Universe Survival Arc: Character Names & Puns"|AccessDate=01 September 2018}}</ref>
