The Female Sheargrub is the female counterpart to the [[Male Sheargrub]], which naturally explains the "Female" part of the name. The Japanese name is {{j|ウジンコ♀|Ujinko ♀}}, which contains the {{w|Venus symbol}} to point out that it is a female. In the creature's scientific name, ''Himeagea mandibulosa'', the word ''mandibulosa'' is Latin for "mandible".

The internal name in ''Pikmin'' is <code>kabekuiA</code>. Kabekui means "Wall eater". The <code>A</code> in the name is the disambiguation identifier for each [[mandiblard family|mandiblard]]; the Female Sheargrub has an <code>A</code>, the Male has a <code>B</code>, and the [[Shearwig]] has a <code>C</code>. The internal name in ''Pikmin 2'' is simply <code>ujia</code>, with <code>uji</code> being part of the Japanese name, and the <code>a</code> being once again the identifier. Finally, ''Pikmin 3'' follows the same scheme as the previous game, but with the name starting with <code>ujinko_</code>, making its internal name <code>ujinko_a</code>.
