The spellings of each.

v-i-o-l-a

v-i-o-l-i-n

and f-i-d-d-l-e

See? They're all different.
Violins and voilas are definitely different instruments (at the risk of insulting violists everywhere, a viola is a "large" violin).

Not sure about "fiddle" though. But always remember that violins is not the answer!
The sizes... Its just like a chelo looks like a violin, but you wouldn't call it that.
