The family's name, ''snowswallow'', is made up of two words, ''snow'' and ''swallow''. ''snow'' is in relation to the fact that the Snowflake Fluttertail uses ice to both protect itself and freeze prey. ''swallow'' could be in relation to the fact that the enemy swallows Pikmin, but it's more likely a connection to the {{w|swallowtail butterfly}}. | The family's name, ''snowswallow'', is made up of two words, ''snow'' and ''swallow''.

The family's genus, ''Papilifictus'', can be split up into two parts, ''Papili'' and ''fictus''. ''Papili'' may be derived from the word papilio which is a genus of the swallowtail butterfly family, it is also latin for butterfly. '' | The family's genus, ''Papilifictus'', can be split up into two parts, ''Papili'' and ''fictus''. ''Papili'' may be derived from the word papilio which is a genus of the swallowtail butterfly family, it is also latin for butterfly. ''fictus'' is latin for fake, this is in relation to the fact that the Snowflake Fluttertail is actually a moth, not a butterfly. Therefore, putting the two words together creates 'fake butterfly' or more specifically, 'fake swallowtail butterfly', which is exactly what the Snowflake Fluttertail is. | ||
