And hedgehog means spikepig.
So they're ocean spike pigs.
Wikipedia says hedgehogs are called that, because they live in hedges, not because they look like one...
They were also bred for food and brought into Ireland by Normans. Irish people called them 'Gráinneog' (gran-nyog), meaning 'little ugly thing'.
Litterally the danish word; søpindsvin. 😂
Spike originate in indo european and meaned sharp point, pig derives from proto western germanic for piglet (piggo) So they are called "ocean sharp pointed piglet"
