Its name is based off of "spurt" – since it squirts ink to defend itself – and {{w|cuttlefish}}, a real-life animal that it resembles. A cuttlefish has two tentacles and a soft body, much like the Sputtlefish. The "sputtle" part of the name could also be based off of the real life {{w|sputtle}}, an excretion produced by insects that functions as a paralytic defense. In Japan, it's known as {{j|カワスミ|Kawa Sumi}}, in which {{j|カワ|kawa}} means "river" and {{j|スミ|sumi}} is short for {{j|スミイカ|sumīka}}, which is the word for the golden cuttlefish, or the Japanese spineless cuttlefish. The creature's internal name, <code>kawasumi</code>, matches its Japanese name. | Its name is based off of "spurt" – since it squirts ink to defend itself – and {{w|cuttlefish}}, a real-life animal that it resembles.
