Description
Early settlers who came to North America from Europe, particularly those from Holland and England, were impressed by the sight of the Monarch butterfly. So, they named it "Monarch," after King William, Prince of Orange, state holder of Holland, and later named King of England. The monarchs' color suggested the name. From William, we get the vernacular "Billy", and hence the name "King Billy", which has also been applied to the butterfly.
