1. Yowamushi Kuruppa

Japan

Scooby-Doo, where are you in Japan? Well, for starters, the greatest Great Dane has a different name. He is called Yowamushi Kuruppa, which means "Scaredy-cat" or "Cowardly Kuruppa." Yes, Scooby's name in Japan is Kuruppa. The gang in the Mystery Mobile have altered names, too. Shaggy is "Boroppin," while Velma is "Megako," a play on the term for "Glasses Girl." Daphne is simply "Jenny," while Fred is "Hansamu." Yep, the blond guy with the ascot is just called "Handsome."

2. Urutora wan-chan

Japan

Staying in Japan for a moment, we next have Underdog, a play on words that is difficult to translate while explaining the big "U" on his chest. His Japanese name basically means "Ultra Doggy." Over in Italy, however, the letter on his uniform stands for his proper name. He is called "Ughetto cane perfetto," or "Hugo, the perfect dog."

3. Hai Harvahammas

Finland

The Finns focused on the dentistry of Jabberjaw. The big blue shark was dubbed Hai Harvahammas, a fun-to-say name that roughly means "Shark with Few Teeth." It's true — he is missing some teeth.

6. Braccio di Ferro

Italy

Popeye has a fascinating moniker in Italy. He was called "Braccio di Ferro." The literal translation of which is "Arm of Iron," but more commonly the term for "Arm Wrestling" in the country. While Popeye does have formidable forearms, he was not exactly Sylvester Stallone in Over the Top.

Poland

Heathcliff was well respected in Eastern Europe. The orange cat is known as "Brainy Harry" in Poland.

8. Les fous du volant

France

Hanna-Barbera's Wacky Races was a wild ride with a sprawling cast of colorful characters and outragous vehicles.

10. Mein Name ist Hase

Germany

For years, The Bugs Bunny Show was the television showcase for classic Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons. In Germany, the series was titled Mein Name Ist Hase. On the surface that simply means, "My name is Rabbit," but the saying is also an idiom with deeper meaning, one that might sound familiar to fans of Hogan's Heroes. It basically means "I know nothing!" The saying dates back to a 19th century court case, when one Victor von Hase was on trail for helping an accused killer flee to France. "Mein Name ist Hase," he proclaimed on the stand, "Ich weiß von nichts." Yes, "I know nothing!" — the same catchphrase as Sgt. Schultz.
