Named after Russian Чебурашка (Čeburaška), the name of a famous Soviet literary and animated character created by Eduard Uspensky in 1965. The character's name is derived from the Russian colloquial verb чебурахнуться (čeburaxnutʹsja, “"to tumble" or "to fall over”). In the story, the character is named after he repeatedly tumbles off a table due to his numb paws. The fishing rig is named for the weight's resemblance to the character's head—a round, ball-like shape featuring two protruding metal eyelets that evoke the character’s iconic large, circular ears.
