Took me forever to know that Gwen's name came from PenGUIN! lol tbh whoever is in charge of thinking the names of the villagers did a great job.
 
I'm so stupid I just realized Chadder is a Cheddar mouse. I have my food villager town of Tea Cozy and didn't have him there! He just moved in a few days ago :) But yeah, I was slow on that one, lol.
 
Marshal: his name comes from marshmallow because of his appearance.
Apple: she's an apple reference
Alli: alligator reference
Lily: she's a frog so a lily pad reference
Drago: its a dragon?
Lucha: is that a wwe reference? lol
Skye: she's from the clouds..

There are many more. I mean half of them are references of something.
 
Mott-A jock lion named "Mott"?When I first saw his name,the only Motts I could think of were Mott's apple sauce and the rock band Mott the Hoople.According to the AC Wiki,Mott's name is a reference to the band.Mott the Hoople broke up in 1977 and changed it's name to British Lions,so there's the lion connection.

Pashmina-Pashmina is a type of wool that comes from Cashmere goats.

Pierce-His name is a reference to Alan Alda's character from the tv show M*A*S*H*,Benjamin Franklin"Hawkeye"Pierce.Pierce's original catchphrase is "hawkeye".

latest

Quillson-I've read that his name is a reference to the Wilson brothers from the 60's band The Beach Boys.For those young'uns that have never heard of The Beach Boys,they put surf music on the map with tunes like Surfer Girl,Surfin' Safari and the song that has a Quillson connection,Surfin U.S.A.There's a lyric in Surfin' U.S.A. that mentions a "bushy,bushy blonde hairdo",like Quillson's and Quillson happens to have a surfboard along with some music gear in his house.
 
Chops. Like pork chops, right? 'Cause he's a pig? Or am I totally off because I'm hungry?
 
genji. i'm a book nerd but i didn't even realize hes named after the tale of genji smh... my favorite villager too!
bittys name is funny because shes the opposite but thats not hard to get lmao
cube is named after either the gamecube or ice cubes apparently.
drake is named after the rapper!11!! nah just kidding
OKAY LAST ONE snake is an anagram of sneak... this is the most clever pun in my opinion making snake one of my faves<3
 
omg reading through all of these makes me realize so many of the names are references. I've only noticed a few of these, but the only one I can think of right now is

Ken: chicken
 
Jeremiah the (bull)frog. Only recently realized this a few months ago.
 
Apparently Timbras name is a reference to timber and that her design is based on a pine cone... doesn’t help that I called her “Timbara” for years lol
 
I took a very long time to realize Bluebear was a pun on blueberry... I though they were just being very literal. x)
She's apparently a pair with Cheri (Acerola in Japanese), another cub with a small fruit name. :)
