I had a few ideas about the name origin as well. The "or" in "monorpale" means gold, so the name could be roughly translated to single gold blade perhaps. In its japanese name as well, "ki" could allude to "kin" which also means gold. -- [[User talk:Danjam|Danjam]] 00:21, 5 July 2013 (UTC) | I had a few ideas about the name origin as well.

No, I just said the french word "pale" means the same as the english word "pale" (as the opposite of dark), and not "blade" as is written on the article. Such a choice of word wouldn't make sense considering the more obvious possibility of the second word being "(V)orpale". If the "or" stood for "gold", then "mon or pale" would litterally mean "my pale gold", and would make no sense either. I'm standing with the "Mono" + "Vorpale" option, I'm only pointing it here because I lack permission to edit the actual article.

Name Origin
About it's french name : I'd just like to point out that it isn't from "mono" and "pale" (which just means pale btw, not blade), but "mono" and "vorpale" (like the Vorpal sword). Monorpale (talk) 00:07, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
