"Little butterflies" and "mini bow-ties" are English equivalents of the Italian word farfalline. The feminine plural noun -- which adds the diminutive feminine suffix -ine ("dear," "little," "small," "sweet") to the feminine singular noun farfalla ("butterfly") -- most famously references Italy's bow-tie pasta. The pronunciation will be "FAR-fal-LEE-ney" in Italian.
