<p>In Suisei no Gargantia's second episode, Gargantians, out of the blue, start referring to Chamber as either "Yunboroid" or "Yunboro".</p>

<p>Where did they get this name from? Was it some type of 'model' name or something that Led told them? Or is it something they came up with?</p>

<p>Either way, what exactly does it mean?</p>

The correct romanization is probably "Yumboroid." The word is probably a portmanteau of "yumbo" and "droid."

Yumbo was a French trademark name of excavators, now [used in Japanese](http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%A6%E3%83%B3%E3%83%9C) to refer to excavators in general (much like [dumpsters](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumpster) in America, which was the trademark name for a mobile garbage bin).
