Every name in the DBZ Universe is a Pun... The "Brief" family consists of Bulma, Trunks, Vegeta (Even though his name is a pun from vegetable) Lmao even Bulma's sister, mother and father.

Goku's family had a pun also, names after cabbage or something like that... Radits is from Raddish, Gohan is from the japanese word meaning food or eating, I think... etc.

Haven't you noticed that Bulma's father's name is Dr. Briefs? Vegeta doesn't have a last name, so I guess Trunks took his mother's, along with the family naming convention. Bulma has a sister named Tights and a daughter named Bra.

Okay I just googled them both and no wonder I didn't know them Bra is from GT and Tights is only in 1 episode of Dragon ball super and the manga "The Galactic Patrolman's Enforcement"

also isn't GT Non-canon cause of Dragon ball super?

If I'm not mistaken, Bra was also in the final episode of DBZ. The one that does the jump to the future when Goku meets the reincarnated Buu at the World Martial Arts Tournament. Bra and Pan are around the same age, and Pan is already born in Super.

Yep, Toriyama used puns in his names. Saiyans are named after vegatables, the Trunks family after variosu undergarments, the ginyu force was based around cheeses.

and Goku's famous attack, was named after a trip to Hawaii. Named after King Kamehameha.

Ginyu is Japanese for "milk." Burter is "butter." Guldo is a Japanese pun of "yogurt," and Recoome a pun on "cream." Jeice had his name changed from "Jīzu," which sounds like "cheese."
