'sea' as 'of transoceanic origin'. Compare Chinese (洋) 'ocean' and 'overseas; foreign; western; imported'.
Usually 'sea' + 'pig'. In many Germanic languages 'sea pig' = Cavia porcellus coincided with a earlier 'sea pig' = a kind of dolphin (German Meerschwein and other from Proto-West Germanic *mariswīn, from Proto-Germanic *mariswīną). These two words should be considered independently.
Derived from 'sea' without term 'pig' in Czech and Slovak. 'Sea rat' in Dutch.
Also Mongolian усан гахай lit. 'water pig'
