Because of their general build, the Procyonidae are often popularly viewed as smaller cousins of the bear family. This is apparent in their German names: a raccoon is called a Waschbär (washing bear, as he ``washes'' his food before eating), a coati is a Nasenbär (nose-bear), while a kinkajou is a Honigbär (honey-bear). Dutch follows suit, calling the animals wasbeer, neusbeer and rolstaartbeer respectively. However, it is now believed that procyonids are more closely related to mustelids than to bears.

På grund av sin allmänna uppbyggnad betraktas Procyonidae ofta populärt som mindre kusiner till björnfamiljen. Detta framgår tydligt av deras tyska namn: en tvättbjörn kallas en Waschbär (tvättbjörn, då han »»tvättar» sin mat innan han äter), en coati är en Nasenbär (näsbjörn), medan en kinkajou är en Honigbär (honungsbjörn). Holländskan följer efter, och kallar djuren wasbeer, neusbeer respektive rolstaartbeer. Man tror dock nu att procyonider är närmare släkt med mustelider än med björnar.
