In the stories, the name Mowgli is said to mean "frog". Kipling made
up the name, and it "does not mean 'frog' in any language other than the
language of the forest."
Kipling stated that the first syllable of "Mowgli" should rhyme with "cow" and is pronounced this way in Britain, while in America it is almost always pronounced to rhyme with "go".
