The word Боролдой boroldoi forms part of the name Боролдой болжмор boroldoi boljmor, which refers to the Skylark Alauda arvensis (although in Mongolian ornithological lists it is normally found in the form боролзой borolzoi meaning 'tansy'). The name suggests a similarity or connection between the two types of bird.

The name of the accentors in Japanese, イワヒバリ iwa-hibari, literally means 'rock-lark'. When written in Chinese characters it is traditionally written as 岩雲雀 or as 岩鷚. The first character, 岩, is the character for イワ iwa 'rock'. This is followed by 雲雀, literally 'cloud sparrow', or 鷚, which are alternative ways of writing ヒバリ hibari 'lark'. However, in Chinese, 鷚 (pronounced liù or in Taiwan liào) is understood to mean 'pipit'. The name イワヒバリ iwa-hibari was originally applied in Japanese to the Alpine Accentor Prunella collaris but it has since been extended to all members of the Prunellidae except Prunella montanella and Prunella rubida, which had existing names, and a couple of extralimital species.
