Petrels are called ウミツバメ umi-tsubame, meaning 'sea swallow' and written with the characters 海燕. The alternative reading カイエン kai-en, which is an on-reading of the same characters, also exists.
There are also the names ウミツバクラ umi-tsubakura and ウミツバクロ umi-tsubakuro, which use regional variants of the word ツバメ tsubame 'swallow'. In addition, the petrels have numerous regional names around Japan.
