WHy is Piccolo called Piccolo instrument

[Warmmedown]

1. Piccolo the instrument was only invented in 1832. But Piccolo Daimao was about 300 years old.

2. Did he enjoy orchestral music, including piano, woodwind and percussion, and thus name himself and his family after instruments? But Piccolo Jr hates whistling! Or does Jr hate whistling because it reminds him of his dad? And is that why he dresses like a rapper/nu metal guy - is it a (teenage) rebellion against his family of origin?

Spoiler

Piccolo Junior hates whistling because of his sensitive hearing.
