Gray mouse lemur derives from the Greek words "mikros", meaning "small", and "kebos", meaning "monkey". The Latin version of "kebos", "cebus", is a common suffix used for primate names, despite the fact that the gray mouse lemur is a lemur, and not a monkey. The species name, "murinus", means "mouse-like" and derives from the Latin word "mus", or "mouse", and the Latin suffix "-inus", which means "like". The lemur is known locally by several names in Malagasy, depending upon the region. Around Tôlanaro (Fort Dauphin), it is called "pondiky" . In the northern end of its range, it is known as "tsidy" .
