One of the Pepe = Krishna theories I have seen on Twitter tried to decode his name into:

"Scandinavia" could be translated to Dark Island + Peperoncino being a pepper = Krishna Jolokia, a pepper named after it's black color when mature.

Etymology for Scandinavia as well as Scania is uncertain but some say it comes from proto Germanic Skaðin-awjō, while this theory seems to follow the possible connection between Skadi and Scandinavia. One suggestion for the origin of Skadi's name is, you guessed it, some Indo-European languages words for "shadow" that sound a lot like the first part of Scáthach. Since Skadi does have deep connections to Scandinavia and Scáthach in the nasuverse I don't doubt they would follow the same pattern when naming a seemingly unrelated character Scandinavia.

I mean other than etymology choices Pepe has a few other points that could connect him to being Krishna but that's a different topic.
