Some claim that the butterfly had originally been named as flutterby or even that Shakespeare was responsible for changing the name. The truth is that the word butterfly really means butter-fly: a fly (or flying animal) that was supposed to like butter or whose excrements resemble butter. The link with dairy products is not only evident in English: the German name "Schmetterling" is derived from "Schmetten", the word for "cream" in some German dialects.
The original name of butterfly is "flutterby," which eventually evolved into "butterfly." The word "butterfly" may have originated from the yellow brimstone butterfly found in Europe, which was called the "butter-coloured fly."
They were called butorflēoge, buttorflēoge, or buterflēoge in Old English, which evolved to buterflie, butturflye, or boterflye in Middle English, and finally butterfly in modern English. In German, there is a similar association with dairy products throughout the history of the word's evolution.
