Comfey

Where Comfey's design comes from

Comfey appears to be modeled on the lei, the Hawaiian wreath of flowers, leaves or vines given to honor people or mark occasions, fitting for a Pokémon from Alola, a region drawn from Hawaii. Leis stand for love and hospitality, which may explain Comfey's friendly nature and its use in hospitals. Its name mixes comfy, comfort, comfrey, fey and lei.
