Muskrat is the muskrat's common name. Muskrat derives from a Native American word that was mispronounced by English settlers as musquash. People eventually thought that had something to do with its musky odor, and the name changes to musk beaver and then muskrat. The scientific name of the muskrat is Ondatra zibethicus.
