False. The name "guinea pig" actually has nothing to do with the animal's cost. The term "guinea" was used to refer to any exotic or foreign object in the 16th century, and "pig" was a common term for any small animal. Guinea pigs are native to South America and were first brought to Europe by Spanish explorers, where they were eventually bred as pets.
