General names

Information is based on dictionaries and other sources. Species list may not be current. Comments and corrections welcome.

In Japanese, the gulls proper are known as カモメ kamome, written with the Chinese character . By itself, kamome refers to Larus canus. The best-known gull in Japan, however, is not called a kamome at all, going instead by the name ウミネコ umi-neko (海猫) or 'sea cat' after its distinctive cry. Such is the power of names that many Japanese perceive kamome and umi-neko to be different types of bird, unlike English where they are simply regarded as different types of sea gull.

For other species, names are supplemented by descriptors relating to physical appearance or geographical range. Some seem to be from English (e.g., 'great black-headed gull'), but many appear to have been developed systematically and independently.

The terns are known as アジサシ aji-sashi meaning 'horse-mackerel stabber', written with the characters 鯵刺. The marsh terns are distinguished as クロハラアジサシ kuro-hara aji-sashi ('black-bellied tern').
