Description
The name flamingo comes from Portuguese or Spanish flamengo ‘flame-colored’; in turn, the word comes from Provençal flamenc – a combination of flama ‘flame’ and a Germanic-like suffix -ing. The word may also have been influenced by the Spanish ethnonym flamenco ‘Fleming’ or ‘Flemish’. The name of the genus, Phoenicopterus, is from Ancient Greek φοινικόπτερος (phoinikopteros) ‘crimson/red-feathered’; other genera names include Phoeniconaias, which means ‘crimson/red water nymph (or naiad)’, and Phoenicoparrus, which means ‘crimson/red bird (bird of omen)’.
