Etymology
Frogbit is a simple English word made of frog and bit, where 'bit' means 'a small piece', because this little floating plant is often found near frogs at the water's edge. So the name helps you picture a tiny plant floating among frogs and lily pads, which matches the plant's small heart-shaped leaves and white flowers.
