Coccinellid is the name of all ladybugs.

Specifically, the term comes from the Latin word coccineus for "scarlet" since the insect in question's body has orange, red or yellow as the predominant color. The English term honors the beetle's scientific family, Coccinellidae. It represents a more scientific way of designating the beetle than any of the insect's common names (lady beetles, lady cows, ladybird beetles, ladybirds, ladybugs).
