Magolor's name is derived from the word "magic" or "mage", as well as the name of his ship, the Lor Starcutter. This is true for his Japanese name, as well; マホロア (''Mahoroa'') is taken from {{furi|魔法|まほう}} (''mahou'', magic) and the Lor's Japanese name, ローア (''Rōa''). According to the developers on a Miiverse post, his name is also taken from the Japanese term まほろば (''[[wikipedia:mahoroba|mahoroba]]''), meaning "wonderful place" or "arcadia".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160110164643/https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAAYUKlS4jBL5w Archive of a Miiverse post talking about the origins of various ''Kirby'' character names]</ref>
Magolor's name comes from "magic" or "mage", and the name of his ship, the Lor Starcutter. His Japanese name「マホロア」(''Mahoroa''), is a portmanteau of「{{furi|魔法|まほう}}(''mahō'', magic) and「ローア」(''Rōa'', Loa). According to the developers on a Miiverse post, his name is also from「{{furi|真秀呂場|まほろば}}」(''[[wikipedia:mahoroba|mahoroba]]'', a Japanese term meaning "wonderful place").<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160110164643/https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAAYUKlS4jBL5w Archive of a Miiverse post talking about the origins of various ''Kirby'' character names]</ref>


There is another in-universe meaning for Magolor's name, as well. During the second stage of the [[Hyness|Corrupt Hyness]] fight in [[Heroes in Another Dimension]] in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', the Boss Description page in the pause menu states that Mafo means "lie" in [[Hyness]]' language, while Lor means "paradise". While not identical, it can be assumed that Magolor's name derives from these two terms and translates to something along the lines of "false paradise".
