Cresselia’s form seems to be based on a swan. Considering its crescent moon motif and the aurora-colored planetary rings around its body, it may originate from the constellation Cygnus. Cresselia shares characteristics with Sarimanok, a legendary fowl with a profusely decorated head, feathered tail, and colorful wings that is said to be a symbol of good fortune.
Cresselia and Crecelia may be a combination of crescent (referring to the lunar phase) and Selene (Greek goddess of the Moon).
