Waniguchi (鰐口 is the original Japanese spelling of the name Waniguchi and its transliteration in Latin, わにぐち is a variant of the Japanese spelling of the name Waniguchi with the syllabic alphabet hiragana) literally means "crocodile" (or alligator) mouth. It is so named because of the striking visual similarity of the instrument.
