Some infants are born with fuzzy skin due to a fine, soft hair called lanugo, which develops in the womb. This hair helps to regulate body temperature and provides protection for the developing skin. Lanugo typically appears around the 5th month of pregnancy and is usually shed before birth, but some infants may still have it at birth, especially if they are born prematurely. It generally disappears within a few weeks after birth as the baby grows and develops.

Fuzzy-Wuzzy (a poem by English author and poet Rudyard in 1892) refers to the Hadenoda warriors who fought the British army in North Africa and the respect of the ordinary British soldier toward them. The name "Fuzzy-Wuzzy" could be entirely English in origin, or it could combine some sort of Arabic pun (by chance based on ghazī, "warrior"). It refers to their butter-matted hair that gave them a unique "fuzzy" look.
