The original avatar character of the software was drawn by Masami Yuuki (ゆうきまさみ Yuuki Masami). The same issue occurs with Camui Gackpo and his software Gackpoid. This is due to the confusion between the software package's name and the name of the VOCALOID mascot. Another notable mistake is labeling her name as "Megpoid Gumi" or "Gumi Megpoid". Less experienced overseas fans often mislabel GUMI as a "Megpoid" rather than a "VOCALOID" and sometimes dismiss that she is a VOCALOID entirely. The full implied name of this product is "Megumi-like Vocaloid."
The software name, "Megpoid", was taken from the provider's name "Megumi." The second half, "poid", is a combination of "ppoi" ( っぽい: resembling) and "loid": "like Vocaloid". "Gumi" is a childhood nickname of Megumi Nakajima. GUMI was the second VOCALOID released by Internet Co., Ltd and had a more retro-futuristic approach than Camui Gackpo.
