English have such weird name for things sometimes. I imagine it was 2 dudes doing the naming at some point.
-Hey Bob, look at that thing, how are we going to call it ?
-Well, it fly, let's call it a fly ?
-Damn, Bob you're smart, and that one ? It flies to !
-It sort of look like a dragon... Let's call it dragonfly !
-Geez, you're crazy smart ! And that one who also fly ?
-Easy, it likes butter, so it's a butterfly !
-Man, I'm in awe of your intelligence... Ok, that big one who fly ?
-Huh, that's a bird, Bill.

Reminds me of my favorite language joke,


Seven men were walking in a park — an Englishman, a Frenchman, a Spaniard, an Italian, a Norwegian, an Icelander and a German. A butterfly flew past them.
“Isn’t that beautiful?” said the Englishman. “And isn’t language a wonderful thing, that it can give us such a great word to talk about that little creature — butterfly.”
“That’s not such a great word,” said the Frenchman. “You know French is prettier, and I tell you that was a papillon.”
“Well, that’s better,” said the Spaniard, “but Spanish has a word that’s even better: mariposa. Just as light as the creature itself, mariposa!”
“No, no, no!” said the Italian. “Everyone knows Italian is the prettiest language! I tell you that was a farfalla!”
The Norwegian smiled. “Well, I guess that is prettier than the Norwegian word. I call that little creature a sommerfugl.”
The Icelander winced. “They’re all easier for me than I think my word will be for you. I call that little creature — who was here a while ago — a fiorildi. Now that’s a pretty word!”
They walked on, six of them arguing, until they all realized that the German hadn’t said anything yet. As one, they all stopped, turned, and stared at him.
The German stared back and said “And what is de matter mit

Schmetterling?”
