I've been on CR for quite a while now, and I noticed that when it comes to Phoenix Wright, everyone says that his last name is a pun with the word "Right".

Well, that's when it came to me that the pun isn't as lame as other names, like Apollo Justice. You see, in portuguese, the study of Law is called "Direito". The curious part is that it can also mean "Right"(both as in being right and the opposite of left).

Maybe the true meaning of his name? Maybe it's all overthinking?

In anyway, I apologize if this has been brought up before.

Well, I personally think that the meaning of his name is just a pun on the word "right".

Well, "right" is English also has several meanings, as opposite to left, opposite to wrong and as a noun that's connected to law (like in "human rights").

I remember someone said something like they found a quote that said:

"Apollo fights for justice, and Phoenix fights for your rights!"

LOL!!! XD Ah, memories. ^_^


I'm pretty sure that they made Phoenix's last name "Wright" so that they could say things like, "Right, Wright?" Just for puns and stuff like that. His Japanese last name is "Naruhodou" which also translates to "I see." So, they would say, "Naruhodou, Naruhodou." in the Japanese version. I don't think that there's any other meaning behind it. ^_^;;
Thanks to .•°٭blinq٭°•. for the lovely sig. ♥

Not to mention Wright is just a very lawyery looking name.

The name Wright really comes from the Old English word "wyrhta," meaning craftsperson. This came about back when a person's name was sometimes based on what job they did, such as a woodwright or a wheelwright.

Not that that has anything to do with :phoenix:.

In another etymology sense, the wr- in front of a word has to do with twisting and bending. Wry is obvious, in writing you twist your wrist (which also twists) and bend the pen marks, and you twist things when you wring them out.
In that same way, Phoenix bends and twists the case and facts to show the truth and find people innocent.

Yeah.

Well, he is quite the craftsman. Remember all those locked doors he opened...with his feet?

No, he used his spiky hair to pick the lock. Then, when that didn't work, he used Edgeworth to glare down the door. THEN, he used Lotta's HUGE HAIR as a battering ram. Then, he just used his feet to knock down the door.

I love all these little other connections with Wright. I don't think they thought about it that much, though. I like the little right, Wright puns you can make. And it's a much less obvious than Justice. XD

...Those other connections with the name Wright are still pretty cool anyway. X3
