-The family's name is likely derived from the words "Mock" and "{{w|Kiwi}}", likely referring to their birdlike appearance. This name may also suggest that they are not, in fact, birds, despite the notable resemblance. The Japanese name, {{j|マッキー|Makkī}}, seems entirely made up, but sounds similar to the English name. In the family's scientific name, the genus ''Pseudoactinia'' would imply that they are imitations of mollusks of some kind, with "Pseudo" meaning not genuine, and "{{w|Actinia}}" referring to a real world genus of sea anemone.
