Japanese names for the Muscicapidae are a late 19th century creation based on common names current at the time. There are a few general names that correspond to English names, plus a number of names for individual species or small groups of species.

1. ヒタキ hitaki (in combination often ビタキ -bitaki) is the general Japanese name for flycatchers (Muscicapa and Ficedula), stonechats and bush chats (Saxicola), and redstarts (Phoenicurus). It is roughly equivalent to 'flycatcher' in English. It is written with the character 鶲.

Redstarts bear the distinctive name of ジョウビタキ jō-bitaki, written 尉鶲, 常鶲 or 上鶲. All characters for jō are arbitrarily assigned based on pronunciation (ate-ji).

Writing: According to Obunsha Kanwa Jiten, use of the character 鶲 for the flycatchers originated in Japanese. 鶲 in Chinese was an old character for an unknown kind of bird that was appropriated to represent hitaki 'flycatcher' in Japanese for lack of a suitable alternative.

On the other hand, 鶲 wēng in this sense may not be entirely without precedent in Chinese. Minus the bird radical, 翁 (pronounced wēng) meant both 'old man' and the 'feathers on the nape of a bird's neck' in Classical Chinese. The well-known Light-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus sinensis) is known in Chinese as 白頭翁 bái-tóu wēng 'white-headed old man'. Moreover, in folk usage two muscicapid species are also known as wēng: the White-capped Water Redstart (Chaimarrornis leucocephalus) or 白頂鶲 bái-dǐng wēng 'white-capped weng' and the Pied Wheatear (Oenanthe pleschanka) or 白頭鶲 bái-tóu wēng 'white-headed weng'. Both can be written with the character 鶲. This suggests that the use of 鶲 for hitaki is conceivably based on existing Chinese usage.

2. The robins are named after the Japanese Robin (Larvivora akahige) or コマドリ koma-dori 'pony-bird', which is so named because its call resembles the whinnying of a horse. It is written 駒鳥, using the characters for 'pony' and 'bird'. This name was then extended to other types of 'robin', such as the Siberian Rubythroat (Calliope calliope) or ノゴマ no-goma, literally 'field pony', written 野駒, and the Bluethroat (Luscinia svevica) or オガワコマドリ ogawa koma-dori, 'Ogawa pony bird', written 小川駒鳥, named after the 19th century ornithologist Minori Ogawa. The written name eventually gave rise to the modern Chinese ornithological name for the robins.

3. A few species have individual names outside the regular generic names. These include:

ムギマキ mugi-maki 'wheat-sower', written 麦蒔き or 麦播き. The name arises from the bird's arrival in autumn at the time wheat needs to be sown.

ルリ ruri 'lapis lazuli', written 瑠璃 or 琉璃, is used for the Blue-and-white Flycatcher (Cyanoptila cyanomelana) and the Siberian Blue Robin (Larvivora cyane) on the basis of their blue colour.

アカヒゲ aka-hige 'red beard' is written 赤髭 'red beard' and is the name of the Ryukyu Robin (Larvivora komadori).

4. The rock thrushes (Monticola), originally with the Turdidae, are known in Japanese as イソヒヨドリ (磯鵯) iso-hiyo-dori or イソヒヨ (磯鵯) iso-hiyo, both 'rrocky-shore bulbul'.

The scientific names of Luscinia komadori and Luscinia akahige are the reverse of the Japanese names from which they are derived. This mixup is due to Temminck. The incorrect names have become quite entrenched, and the French names even take the erroneous scientific names as the basis for the French ornithological names.

Named after Japanese ornithologist Ogawa Minori (小川三紀), 1876-1908.

The meaning of jō here is not clear. It can be written with the characters 尉 'officer, captain',　常 'always', or 上 'above' respectively.

Although it uses the character 鹟 wēng ('flycatcher'), this name is identical in pronunciation to the popular name of the Light-vented Bulbul 白头翁 bái-tóu-wēng (Pycnonotidae)

The word 鮮卑 xiānbēi refers to an ancient Mongolic-speaking ethnic group living in the area of modern eastern Mongolia and northeastern China. They established a large empire in the early centuries of the Christian era and one branch later established the Northern Wei dynasty in China (386-535). This name for Muscicapa sibirica possibly reflects the theory that the Xianbei gave their name to Siberia.

The magua (马褂) was a kind of riding jacket originally worn by the Manchus (see Magua).
