Yaba is sometimes called bhul bhuliya in India. The name commonly used for it in the Philippines and Indonesia is shabú. In North Thailand it is often referred to as "Chocalee" due to a somewhat sweet taste Yaba pills leave in the mouth.

Methamphetamine is also known as "Nazi speed", a reference to its widespread use (under the brand name "Pervitin") in Nazi Germany's military during World War II.
