Did a quick search at the Pokémon encyclopedia:
Origin: This Pokémon is based on the mudpuppy or mudskipper, or also possibly an axolotl.
Name origin: Mudkip is a combination of mud and skip, or it may be a shortening of mudskipper. Mizugorou may be a combination of 水 mizu (water) and ムツゴロウ mutsugorō (mudskipper).
