Ganon was originally known as "Hakkai" during development of the original "The Legend of Zelda", in reference to a humanoid pig character known as Zhu Bajie ("Cho Hakkai" in Japanese) from the 16th century Chinese novel "Journey to the West". The character is given the surname "Dragmire" in the English version of the "" instruction manual while his monster form's name was "Mandrag Ganon". These names have not appeared in any of the games or other manuals, though the name "Ganondorf Dragmire" is used once on the official Zelda website.
