<p>The fan wiki for Dragon Ball has a page where they've <a href="http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Origins_of_character_names" rel="nofollow noreferrer">compiled a list</a> of origins for character names in the Dragon Ball universe.</p>

<p>This page lists three with connections to Spanish. </p>

<ul>
<li>Pan

<blockquote>
  <p>Pan means "bread" in both Spanish and Japanese, which may continue the food theme of Gohan's family.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li>Chi Chi

<blockquote>
  <p>Japanese for "milk" (which also refers to breasts by extension and are a slang term for breasts in Latino Spanish). Named like this because her father is the Ox-King.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li>Salza

<blockquote>
  <p>The English verbal translation is a pun on the Spanish sauce "salsa".</p>
</blockquote></li>
</ul>

<p>I'm doubtful the first two were intentional, since the Japanese word for bread being the same as the Spanish word is merely a coincidence, and Chi Chi being a slang for breasts also seems very coincidental. </p>

<p>Recently, it's been revealed that the god of destruction from universe 9, the dwarf-like one is named Sidra which comes from the Spanish name for cider. My question is: are there any other characters in the Dragon Ball universe with a Spanish name?</p>

The fan wiki for Dragon Ball has a page where they've [compiled a list](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Origins_of_character_names) of origins for character names in the Dragon Ball universe.

This page lists three with connections to Spanish.

* Pan
  > Pan means "bread" in both Spanish and Japanese, which may continue the food theme of Gohan's family.
* Chi Chi
  > Japanese for "milk" (which also refers to breasts by extension and are a slang term for breasts in Latino Spanish). Named like this because her father is the Ox-King.
* Salza
  > The English verbal translation is a pun on the Spanish sauce "salsa".

I'm doubtful the first two were intentional, since the Japanese word for bread being the same as the Spanish word is merely a coincidence, and Chi Chi being a slang for breasts also seems very coincidental.
