I also wondered about the Latin name - but a Wiki link came up with the answer.

https://en.wikipedia.o​rg/wiki/Eurasian_wren (external link)

Why is a Wren called troglodytes?
The family name Troglodytidae is derived from troglodyte, which means "cave-dweller", and the wrens get their scientific name from the tendency of some species to forage in dark crevices. The name "wren" is also ascribed to other families of passerine birds throughout the world.

I think of something more akin to Lord of the Rings, or my old school French teacher when i think of Troglodyte.
