Seems like that word is very fragmented. Here's a map of the different ways of naming it in Euskera (Basque language). In a very small area you have a lot of ways of naming the same animal...

Any reason why there's something special about butterflies that we don't agree on their name?

Hypothesis: they attract folklore because of their beauty, fleeting appearances, etc. and so get named according to local tales?
