General

The following is based on analysis of dictionaries and other sources. Comments and corrections welcome. Malaysian names are now being updated. For consistency, Vietnamese bird names (except for ducks and chickens) are preceded by the word Chim meaning 'bird'. Ornithological lists mostly omit this as understood. Hover over Green Lettering Green lettering at this site hides a tool tip with glosses, further explanations, etc. Hover cursor to reveal. to see additional information.

Vietnamese has a native word for eagles and other raptors, which is Chim Ó. It is glossed here as 'eagle1'.

The sparrowhawks are known as Chim Bồ cắt (where cắt itself is used for the falcons).

Vultures are known as Chim Kền kền or Chim Kẽn kẽn, or Chim Bằng.

Names have also been borrowed from Chinese, and these now form the main terms used in Vietnamese.

Ornithologists assign these names to accipitrid genera as follows:

Vietnamese name Genera Gloss in tables
ó Sarcogyps Vultures
Osprey (Pandionidae)
'eagle1'
diều Kites (Elanus)
Honey Buzzards (Pernis)
Bazas (Aviceda)
Short-toed Eagle (Spilornis)
Serpent Eagle (Circaetus)
Hawk Eagles (Nisaetus)
Harriers (Circus)
Fishing Eagles (Ichthyophaga)
Kites (Milvus, Haliastur)
Buzzards (Butastur, Buteo)
'hawk1'
ưng Hawks (Accipiter) 'hawk2'
đại bàng Aegypius Vultures
Rufous-bellied Hawk Eagle (Lophotriorchis)
Black Eagle (Ictinaetus)
Spotted Eagle (Clanga)
True Eagles (Aquila)
Sea Eagles (Haliaeatus)
'eagle2'
kền kền Gyps Vultures 'vulture'

The distribution of terms is interesting. Ưng is used for the true hawks; đại bàng for the large eagles and Aegypius vultures. Diều is used across a broad range of medium-sized species and is the most common term in the list. By contrast, ó is found only in the names of the Osprey and the Red-headed Vulture.

The vultures are split among three names: ó, đại bàng, and kền kền. The first two terms normally refer to 'eagles', one of many cases where the line between eagles and vultures is a fuzzy one.

Cultural

The Vietnamese expression ưng khuyển or khuyển ưng, meaning 'vultures and dogs', refers to lackeys and servants.

'buteo hawk (bird)' (buteo from English)

The word ハチクマ hachi-kuma literally 'bee-bear' is written in Chinese characters as 1. 蜂角鷹 'bee horned hawk' or 2. 蜂熊 'bee bear'.

The distinction between 'eagle' and 'vulture' in Chinese is a relatively recent one. The character is traditionally used for both eagles and vultures.

The etymology of サシバ sashiba' is unknown. In Chinese characters it is usually written 1) 差羽, where the verb 差す sasu has a very broad range of meanings, including 'to point', and , here read ba, means 'wing' or 'feather', or 2) , an ancient Chinese raptor name.

Vietnamese Ưng 'hawk' is from the Chinese word , Mandarin yīng, meaning 'hawk'.

Đại bàng is from Chinese 大鵬, Mandarin dà-péng, a large legendary bird sometimes translated into English as 'roc'. In modern China the name is sometimes used commercially (e.g. in company names) as an auspicious equivalent to 'eagle'.

Diều Nhật Bản 'Japanese hawk' appears to be based on an earlier identification of the local species as Buteo buteo japonicus. H&M4, which now recognises Buteo japonicus as a full species, confines its distribution to Japan itself, leaving the Vietnamese name as a possible misnomer.

The mythological bird who served as the mount for the god Indra, นกอินทรี nók in-sii 'Indra's bird', has come to be identified in Thai with the eagle. Thai names for many birds called 'eagle' in English are based on this now generalised name.

พญา pʰa-yaa 'king' becomes the head noun of the name. The construction can be interpreted as a term of address as in 'King Vulture' or as here, 'king of vultures; vulture king'.
