<section begin="Etymology"/>The name Morty comes from Latin's ''mortis'' (death).

His Japanese name, Matsuba, originates from 魔 (ma, demon), 末 (matsu, end), and possibly 絶滅 (zetsumetsu, extinction). Following the plant-based naming of most Gym Leaders, it may also literally be 松葉 (matsuba, the Japanese name for pine needles).<section end="Etymology"/>

==Trivia==
*Morty's name may be a play on the word MORTUARY, which is a funeral home, because he is a ghost type trainer. Similarly, it could come from the Latin adjective meaning 'dead', ''mortuus''.
 
  +
*Morty's name comes from the Latin "mortis" (of death). Matsuba, his Japanese name, may come from 魔 (ma, demon), 末 (matsu, end), and possibly 絶滅 (zetsumetsu, extinction).
*In [[Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold and SoulSilver]] the player has to visit the [[Burned Tower]] and awaken the [[Legendary Beasts|Legendary Beast Trio]] before challenging Morty to a Gym Battle.

My name is Morty. I am Ecruteak's Gym Leader. Because my old friend is here on the trail of Suicune, I decided to investigate the Burned Tower. Ecruteak has a legend about these legendary Pokémon: Suicune, Entei, and Raikou. As the Gym Leader of Ecruteak, I must have a proper understanding of it.

Morty serves as the Gym Leader of the Ecruteak City Gym. He specializes in using Ghost-type Pokémon, and holds the Fog Badge for the trainers that defeat him. He is the first known male Ghost-type Gym Leader.

Etymology

The name Morty comes from Latin's mortis (death).

His Japanese name, Matsuba, originates from 魔 (ma, demon), 末 (matsu, end), and possibly 絶滅 (zetsumetsu, extinction). Following the plant-based naming of most Gym Leaders, it may also literally be 松葉 (matsuba, the Japanese name for pine needles).
