Possible Etymology
The word, Goomba, possible comes from the Sicilian word gumba meaning "friend." However, this seems ironic, since the goombas in the Mario-universe are not usually friends -- in fact, they are the contrary! Nevertheless, sine Sicilian is a dialect of Italian and many characters have, if not Japanese, Italian names (Mario and Luigi, for example), so it is very possible that there is a link between the name Goomba and the word gumba, which (despite the slight spelling difference) are pronounced exactly the same.
