>"Team Rocket" is a very cool name – it’s violent and explosive yet optimistic, as it reflects the team’s ambition to ‘extend [their] reach to the stars above’, as mentioned in the group’s motto.

>While the name originates from the Pokémon video game, the television show has gone out of its way to build the lore of the group, including providing backstory for its leader, Giovanni, and the experiment that created Mewtwo – both elements taken directly from the games.

>The manga based on the Pokémon games gives further insight into the group, though – according to the comic series, ‘Rocket’ is an acronym which explains the group’s goals and modus operandi. According to the character, R.O.C.K.E.T. stands for ‘Raid On the City, Knock out, Evil Tusks’.

>It’s not certain whether this name is considered canon in the cartoon series, but considering that the manga contains many elements from the development of original game, including characters such as Green who were cut from the game, it’s possible that this was the original idea behind the group’s name and plans.

Kanto's theme is science and engineering, and Team Rocket even did inhumane science experiments behind the scenes. That's the best reason I can come up with.

But I'm assuming it's not a direct translation
