The word "Bearded" refers to its long beard-like hairs on its face, and "Amprat" is a portmanteau of "{{w|Ampere|Amp}}", a measurement unit of electricity, and "{{w|rat}}", a type of real-life rodent which it resembles. Its Japanese name is simply {{j|ビリー|Birī}}, which translates to "Billy" – one possibility is that this is referring to the {{w|Billy (dog)|billy dog breed}}. Its internal name, <code>billy</code>, matches its Japanese name. | The word "Bearded" refers to its long beard-like hairs on its face, and "Amprat" is a portmanteau of "{{w|Ampere|Amp}}", a measurement unit of electricity, and "{{w|rat}}", a type of real-life rodent which it resembles.
