The name Ranunculus is Late Latin for "little frog," the diminutive of rana. This probably refers to many species being found near water, like frogs.[2]
The name buttercup may derive from a false belief that the plants give butter its characteristic yellow hue (in fact it is poisonous to cows and other livestock). A popular children's game involves holding a buttercup up to the chin; a yellow reflection is supposed to indicate fondness for butter.[3]
In the interior of the Pacific Northwest of the United States the buttercup[clarification needed] is called "Coyote�s eyes" � ?icey�eyenm s�lu in Nez Perce and spilyaynm� �ca� in Sahaptin. In the legend Coyote was tossing his eyes up in the air and catching them again when Eagle snatched them. Unable to see, Coyote made eyes from the buttercup.
