Names used for the campephagids include the following:
1. นกพญาไฟ nók pʰa-yaa fay 'fire king bird' refers to the Pericrocotus minivets. The term พญา pʰa-yaa 'king' is used in a number of bird names, including the broadbills (Eurylaimidae); a vulture (Accipitridae); and two pheasants (Phasianidae).
2. นกขี้เถ้า nók kʰîi-tʰâw 'ashy bird' refers to the Coracina cuckooshrikes. The term ขี้เถ้า kʰîi-tʰâw or เถ้า tʰâw 'ashes' refers to what is left after fire and has to be discarded. This is a different word from เทา tʰaw 'grey', having a different consonant and different tone class.
3. นกเฉี่ยวบุ้ง nók cʰìaw-bûŋ 'caterpillar-snatcher (bird)' refers to most of the Lalage cuckooshrikes. (Compare นกเฉี่ยวดง nók cʰìaw doŋ 'jungle snatcher (bird)', the Thai name for the Tephrodornis woodshrikes, now assigned to the Vangidae.)
4. นกเขนน้อยคิ้วขาว nók kʰĕen-nóaay 'little-robin (bird)' refers to some of the Lalage trillers and the Hemipus flycatcher-shrikes (Vangidae), which are all considered to be the same kind of birds as Luscinia robins and bushrobins (Muscicapidae).
