"Snavian" is a portmanteau of "snake" and "avian", given their snake-like bodies and bird heads. Some members of this family use the word "Snagret" in their name. This seems to be a combination of the words "snake" or "snag", which means "to catch", and "{{w|egret}}", a kind of bird resembling the Snagrets. Their Japanese names also use the words {{j|ヘビガラス|Hebi Garasu}}, meaning "Crow Snake"; this is because of the enemies themselves being a combination of a snake and a bird – likely a crow. The term ''Shiropedes'' in their scientific names denotes the genus, and is a word made up of ''pedes'', which is Latin for "foot", and ''shiro''. The origin of ''shiro'' is unknown, although {{j|しろ|shiro}} does mean "white" in Japanese. | "Snavian" is a portmanteau of "snake" and "avian", given their snake-like bodies and bird heads.
