This family previously formed part of the Emberizidae (buntings) and therefore shares the same name with them.
In Mongolian usage, both members were known as Хөмрөг khömrög 'bunting' in line with international ornithological usage.
The official Mongolian names of 2007 give both species double-barrelled names: Буулгатхөмрөг buulagt-khömrög and Цасчхөмрөг tsasch-khömrög 'snow bunting' respectively. Names have been influenced by foreign ornithological usage (e.g., the word 'Lapland').
Inner Mongolia
In line with international ornithological usage, the Inner Mongolian ornithological name for the longspurs and snow buntings is Азарга azrag 'bunting1'. The Lapland Longspur is alternatively known as a kind of Болжмор boljmor, a general name for sparrows, finches, and larks.
