Weedle's name appears to be a misspelling of ''{{wp|weevil}}'', but this is not likely, considering the difference between the two. Its name is more likely a combination of ''{{wp|worm}}'' and ''needle'', which refers to the stingers on its body. ''Beedle'' is similar, but refers to {{wp|bee}}s instead.
