Butterfly

The meaning of Butterfly is 'milk stealer' or 'sucker of milk'. It is derived from an old English word 'buttorfleoge'. A butterfly is a type of insect which is known for having bright, colourful wings. They take nectar from flowers and help in the process of pollination. In many cultures, people used to believe that fairies would turn into flying moths at night, to try to and steal butter or milk. Therefore the term 'butterfly' was created. The German variant of the word is 'butterfleige' and the Dutch variant is 'botervlieg'. In many cultures, the butterfly is associated with spirits, The early Germanic people used to call it 'psyche', meaning soul. The word butterfly is also an anagram of the phrase 'flutter by', which describes the flying characteristic of these insects. Butterfly is also used as an adjective, to describe a person who is 'frivolous', 'unpredictable', or who dresses flamboyantly.
