-Shipping Name Origin
"BrewShipping" was coined sometime before 09 December 2019 on Twitter,[1] likely by BrewShipping, aka kovu, an early supporter of the pairing who submitted it to the Neverending Romance ship name list. It's a play on how dandelions (Leon) and hops make good brews for beers.
An earlier name coined for the pairing is ChampionBroShipping, though this sees limited to no use.[Notes 1]
Overall, calling the ship by its Japanese acronyms in the western side of the fandom is the most common.
