The Mongolian name for the members of the genus Carduelis, Цэгцүүхэй tsegtsuukhei, is closely related to the name of the wagtails, Цэгцгий tsegtsgii. The words have only one letter's difference in the traditional script, and both Inner Mongolian dictionaries and Mongolian dictionaries tend to define both names as meaning both 'red-finch' and 'wagtail'.

The name Sẻ đồng 'field sparrow' is shared with the Emberizidae. In order to draw a clear distinction between the two families, Nguyen, Le & Phillipps attempt to assign the name Chim sẻ thông 'pine-sparrow (bird)' to those members of the Fringillidae that bear the name Sẻ 'sparrow', with the glaring exception of Carduelis ambigua, which due to a naming conflict with the Brambling Fringilla montifringilla takes on the name Sẻ đồng 'field sparrow' (i.e., bunting).

The name アトリ atori has traditionally been written: 1. as 花鶏 literally 'flower chicken/fowl', an old Chinese name for the Brambling; 2. using the character combination 猲子鳥, also presumably of Chinese origin.

The name イスカ isuka has traditionally been written: 1. with the Chinese name of the crossbill, 交喙 meaning 'crossed bill'; 2. using the Japanese created character 鶍.

The name シメ shime has traditionally been written: 1. with the Japanese-created (or adapted) character 鴲, 2. the Chinese name of the bird, written 蝋嘴 'wax bill'.

A variety of Chinese characters or character combinations have traditionally been used to write the word イカル ikaru: 1. the characters 桑鳲, identified as the Chinese name for the grosbeaks; 2. the Japanese-created character 鵤; 3. the Chinese characters 斑鳩 meaning 'striped pigeon'.

The source gives Залмагаи zalmagai 'gill', which is obviously an error.

The word Болжмор boljmor was originally a term for small birds in general. In Mongolia it is now usually identified with the larks, in Inner Mongolia with the sparrows. Here it is used in the original general sense of 'small bird'.
