The monarch butterfly received its name due to its association with royalty, reflecting its vibrant orange and black coloration that resembles the regalia of a monarch. The term "monarch" also signifies the butterfly's status as one of the most recognizable and widespread species in North America. This name was popularized in the early 19th century, highlighting both its beauty and significance in nature.
