In Chinese, the shrikes are known as 伯劳 bóláo (also written 博劳) or sometimes 伯劳鸟 bóláo-niǎo ('shrike bird'). Bóláo is a single word in Chinese. The characters indicate sound, not meaning (the literal meaning for the two different ways of writing it are the nonsensical 'uncle labour' or 'broad labour').

An old name is . Although it has disappeared from ordinary modern usage, this word is widely used in ornithological Chinese to form the names of birds in which the word 'shrike' is a component (e.g., 'shrike babbler', 'cuckoo shrike', 'woodshrike').

In some areas, the shrike is popularly known as 虎不拉 hù-bu-lǎ (written 'tiger cannot pull', possibly a tribute to its strength). An alternative writing is the less meaningful 胡不拉.

Under the Inner Mongolian naming, the Long-tailed Shrike (Lanius schach) is not called a Чогчиго chogchig like the other shrikes; it is called a Цэгцхий tsegtskhii (normally applied to the wagtails) or in some dictionaries a Цэгцүүхэй tsegtsüükhei (normally applied to the red finches). In the traditional spelling these two names differ by only one letter. The long-tailed shrike is visually quite similar to the rosefinches, suggesting that (31) version (Цэгцхий tsegtsgii 'wagtail') could be a misprint, but in fact, Inner Mongolian dictionaries give Цэгцхий as having two meanings: 'redfinch' and 'wagtail'. Moreover, the large 5-volume Mongolian dictionary defines Цэгцүүхэй as meaning 'a finch similar to a shrike; a wagtail' (Чогчиготой төстэй бялзуухай; цэгцгий).
