Names for squid in modern scientific Latin tend to involve the word teuthis, which is originally Greek. This word isn't attested in ancient Latin. There was a mythical many-armed creature called the arbor ("tree") because its arms were fancied to resemble the branches of a tree, which may or may not be a reference to a sort of squid.
