The Mongolian name for the penduline tits is Уран шувуу uraŋ shuvuu meaning 'deft bird' or 'skilful bird', which is very similar to the traditional name for the wrens. In the 2007 "binomial" bird names, this was amalgamated into one word, Ураншувуу uraŋ-shuvuu.
Inner Mongolia
The Inner Mongolian ornithological names modify the original Уран шувуу uraŋ shuvuu by replacing шувуу shuvuu with a newly coined portmanteau name: Авираахай av'raakhai 'climbingbird', from the verb авирах av'rakh 'to climb'. Авираахай av'raakhai is a calque on the Chinese name 攀雀 'climbing finch'. This is, in turn, the abbreviation of an earlier ornithological name loosely based on English.

The word 雀 què is traditionally used for small passerines, including the sparrows and the finches. The tits are known as 山雀 shān-què 'mountain finches', possibly based on Japanese. In this case, 攀雀 pān-què 'climbing finch' is based on an earlier ornithological name, 倒攀山雀 dào-pān shān-què 'reverse-climbing mountain-finch', which is intended as a loose calque on 'penduline tit'.
Due to taxonomic confusion, this species has been classed both as Remiz pendulinus and Remiz coronatus. These are known as:
Remiz pendulinus:
攀雀
(攀雀)
'climbing tit' (1, 5)
Remiz coronatus:
白冠攀雀
(白冠攀雀)
'white-crest climbing tit' (2, 3, 4)
