Rutabaga has many national and regional names. ''Rutabaga'' is the common North American term for the plant.

The term ''swede'' (from "Swedish turnip") is used in many [[Commonwealth Nations]], including much of the [[United Kingdom]], [[Australia]], and [[New Zealand]]. The name ''turnip'' is also used in parts of Northern and Midland England, the [[West Country]] (particularly [[Cornwall]]), [[Ireland]], the [[Isle of Man]], and Canada. In [[Wales]], according to region, it is variously known as {{lang|cy|meipen}}, {{lang|cy|rwden}}, or {{lang|cy|erfinen}} in [[Welsh language|Welsh]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://geiriaduracademi.org/|title=Geiriadur yr Academi {{!}} The Welsh Academy English-Welsh Dictionary Online|website=geiriaduracademi.org|language=cy|access-date=16 March 2018|archive-date=24 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180224033151/http://geiriaduracademi.org/|url-status=live}}</ref> and as ''swede'' or ''turnip'' in English.

In [[Scotland]], it is known as ''turnip'', ''tumshie'' (also used as a pejorative term for a foolish or stupid person), or ''neep'' (from [[Old English language|Old English]] ''{{Lang|ang|næp}}'', Latin ''{{Lang|la|napus}}'').<ref name="CSD">''The Concise Scots Dictionary'', Mairi Robinson (editor) (1985)</ref> Some areas of south-east Scotland, such as Berwickshire and Roxburghshire, still use the term ''baigie'', possibly a derivative of the Swedish dialectal word ''{{Lang|sv|rotabagge}}''.<ref>[http://www.dsl.ac.uk/entry/snd/baggie_n4 Dictionary of the Scots Language: baigie] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180303050411/http://www.dsl.ac.uk/entry/snd/baggie_n4 |date=3 March 2018 }}" Relinked 2 March 2018.</ref> The term ''turnip'' is also used for the [[turnip|white turnip]] (''Brassica rapa'' ssp ''rapa'').<ref name="CSD"/><ref name="Chambers">Chambers English Dictionary (Chambers 1988), {{ISBN|1-85296-000-0}}</ref>

Some will also refer to both swede and (white) turnip as just ''turnip'' (this word is also derived from {{Lang|ang|næp}}).<ref name="Chambers"/> In north-east England, turnips and swedes are colloquially called ''snannies'' ''snadgers'', ''snaggers'' (archaic) or ''narkies''.<ref>Rana, M.
