In dutch they are literally called sea-hedgehog. (zee-egel)
So, while latin and all is nice, there's always the dutch way of "doe maar normaal dan doe je gek genoeg". Which translates into: just behave as regular, that's more than enough excitement.

same in German, Seeigel

Same in Spanish, but from a different root-word. Erizo del mar, which erizo is just a normal hedgehog
-
Same in Slovene. Morski jež - sea hedgehog

This is turning into the whole ananas / pineapple thing where English is the outlier again.

Same in danish: Søpindsvin
Sea-stick-swine
-
Continuing the chain, same in Brazilian Portuguese: "Ouriço-do-mar"

It's actually the same in italian, ricci di mare

"doe normaal.."
In french they're "oursins", apparently from bears, which they thought had very hard fur.

Similarly, seals? Sea dogs.
