The word "Bulbmin" is a combination of "[[Bulborb]]" and "[[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]". In Japan, the mature Bulbmin is called {{j|ハチャッピー|Ha Chappī}}, which means "Leaf Chappy"; "leaf" is because of the leaf (or bud or flower) coming out of their backs, and Chappy is the Japanese name for Bulborb. The juvenile Bulbmin is called {{j|コッパチャッピー|Koppa Chappī}}. Their scientific name is ''Parasiticus pikminicus'', which is made up of ''Parasiticus'', Latin for "parasitic", given that the Bulbmin itself is a parasitic life-form, and ''pikminicus'', like "Pikmin". Internally, they're known as <code>leafchappy</code>, which is the translation of their Japanese name. | The word "Bulbmin" is a combination of "[[Bulborb]]" and "[[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]".
