Dragon Ball has always made it clear that Namekians are from Planet Namek, but it turns out that it's not always the case, but now, Dragon Ball Super has explained why Namekians living outside planet Namek are still considered Namekians that fans are familiar with.
"Although, when it comes to Monaito, him living his life far from Planet Namek on Planet Cereal certainly doesn't make him any less of a Namekian! It's also worth noting that in Japanese, it seems the nomenclature for Namekians living on Planet Namek specifically is more like 'Planet Namek-ians', while the general term for a member of the green race is simply "Namekian"," the official Dragon Ball website reads.
