The Bearded Reedling was formerly known as a kind of 'tit' (Хөх бух khökh bukh, literally 'darkblue bull') in Mongolian. The use of 'tit' in the name is due to its early identification with the tits.
In the 2007 "binomial names", the Bearded Reedling was renamed Шагшуургабялзуухай shagshuurag-byalzuukhai 'reedbed finch'. The name is listed in the 1805 Imperial Pentaglot Manchu Mirror (37), where it appears to refer to a kind of bittern.
Inner Mongolian
In Inner Mongolian, the Bearded Reedling is known as Соёо сахалт soyoo sakhalt 'having a turned-up moustache'. More recently it has been christened Соёо сахалт бялзуухай soyoo sakhalt byalzyykhai 'having a turned-up moustache birdlet'.

The term Шувуухай shuvuukhai here refers to a small bird. Шувуухай shuvuukhai is an old term used to refer to a number of generally exotic small species, including the sunbirds (Nectariniidae), the broadbills (Eurylaimidae), and the bee-eaters (Meropidae), as well as the Wren and the Treecreeper. In the traditional script there are two alternative spellings: sibaoqai and sibagoqai.
The word Шагшуурга shagshuurag here means 'reed'. It is used in Шагшуурга бялзуухай shagshuurag byalzuukhai literally 'reed finch', the name of a kind of reed warbler. In the 2007 "binomial naming" it was assigned to the genus Panurus (Bearded Reedling). In ornithological Inner Mongolian, the name is used for the babblers. The shortened form Шагшуур shagshuur is used for the bulbuls.
山雀 shān-què, literally meaning 'mountain sparrow', is the Chinese name for the tits. As a component of names it is usually abbreviated to 雀 què, meaning 'sparrow' or 'finch'. 山雀 shān-què is possibly from Japanese 山雀 yama-gara 'finch'.
