A made-up name. where he notes that Mowgli does not mean 'frog' in any language known to him.
Mowgli is the name given to the main character in Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book." The name likely originates from the word "Mowgli" in Hindi, which means "frog." Mowgli is a feral child raised by wolves in the jungle.
Kipling was referencing endurance, both physical and emotional.
Mowgli is the name given to the "man-cub" adopted by wolves in the Indian jungle in Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book" (1894) and "The Second Jungle Book". According to the story, Raksha is a mother-wolf who adopts a naked baby that her mate finds wandering in the jungle near their den after its parents were attacked by Shere Khan the tiger. Raksha names the baby "Mowgli, the Frog" because of his hairlessness. The name Mowgli does not actually mean "frog" in any Indian language, but was invented by Kipling (although many other names in the Jungle Books are taken from Indian languages). The 1933 compilation "All the Mowgli Stories" includes a note on "How to Say the Names in This Book", which says that the "Mow" of Mowgli rhymes with "Cow" - i.e., not the way most film versions of "The Jungle Book" pronounce it.
