If my understanding is correct, the names are funny for JP language reasons. "Megumin" is normally a JP nickname for girls named "Megumi", and "Chunchunmaru" is a mixture of Chunchun (which is basically Chirp-Chirp, like birds chirping) and "-maru" which means "Circle" and is often a male name suffix that is often also applied to JP ships. So basically, it's "Chirp-Chirp Circle".

As a side note, Chomusuke (her cat / familiar) is "a weird name" (Megumin immediately gets defensive when Kazuma starts to say it's a weird name and just declares "She's Chomusuke!" because "-suke" is typically a male suffix as well, and "Chomu-" just sounds weird to JP people, apparently.  Chomusuke is a female cat, so it's "weird".  :D
