Captain Olimar named these creatures "Pikmin" because of their resemblance to a vegetable he eats in [[Hocotate]], the [[pikpik carrot]]s. The word "Pikmin" is never written with a lowercase "P", and the plural is still written as "Pikmin". Interestingly, some parts of some games do not capitalize the word that defines the type of Pikmin, but capitalize the word "Pikmin" itself, whereas others might capitalize both words. For instance, Olimar's voyage log may write "red Pikmin",{{cite quote|Fire should be a natural enemy of the Pikmin, but on closer examination, I've found {{color|red Pikmin|red}} to be impervious to it.

The game was named after the Pikmin. Sometimes, Pikmin are also referred to as "piki", especially internally inside a game's files, as proven by the [[Honeywisp]]'s Japanese name being {{j|ピキマキ|Piki Maki|Piki Maki (Pikmin Fuel)|f=tp}}, the term "piki park" in [[animtest]], and the folder <code>/dataDir/pikis</code> in ''Pikmin'''s file structure. In [[Pikmin prerelease information|earlier versions]] of the game, a Pikmin would be referred to as a "pikmin", with a lowercase "p", and the plural would be several "pikmins".<ref>[[Pikmin prerelease information#E3 | The game was named after the Pikmin.
