European Robin (Erithacus rubecula)
The distinctive red breast of both sexes led to the European Robin's original name of redbreast.
In the fifteenth century, when it became popular to give human names to familiar species,
the bird came to be known as Robin redbreast, which was eventually shortened to Robin.
In American literature of the late 19th century, this robin was frequently called the English Robin.
The robyntsje or robynderke is similar to the English name,while Dutch Roodborstje and French Rougegorge
both refer to the distinctive red front. |
