The Emberizidae are not a traditional category in Thai bird naming. นกจาบปีกอ่อน nók càap-pìik-òaan 'soft-winged-weaverbird (bird)' is used in Thai as the equivalent of both English 'bunting' (Emberizidae) and English 'finch' (Fringillidae). In Thai these kinds of birds were not distinguished from each other, and they were considered kinds of จาบ càap 'weaver' (Ploceidae). The name จาบ càap is broadly applied to the bee-eaters (Meropidae) or นกจาบคา nók càap-kʰaa 'cogon-grass weaverbird (bird)', larks (Alaudidae) or นกจาบฝน nók càap-fŏn 'rain weaverbird (bird)' and jungle-babblers (Timaliidae) or นกจาบดิน nók càap-din 'earth weaverbird (bird)'.
Both finches (Fringillidae) and buntings (Emberizidae) are called นกจาบปีกอ่อน nók càap-pìik-òaan 'soft-winged weaverbird (bird)'. At the time their species-names were devised these birds were classified in the same family, and their original names have not been modified to reflect subsequent taxonomic changes.
นกจาบปีกอ่อน nók càap-pìik-òaan 'soft-winged-weaverbird (bird)' forms part of all Emberizidae and Fringillidae names except for birds called 'grosbeak' in English.
Family name
The name of one species, the Little Bunting (Schoeniclus pusillus), has been promoted to distinguish the Emberizidae at the family level:
วงศ์นกจาบปีกอ่อนเล็ก woŋ nók càap-pìik-òaan lék, literally 'small soft-winged-weaverbird (bird) family' but intended as 'Little-Bunting family'.

The word ホオジロ hō-jiro 'white cheek' is used for a number of buntings as well as snow buntings and longspurs. It can be written in Chinese characters in several ways: 1. characters literally meaning 'cheek-white' in Japanese (頬白 hō-jiro), 2. 黄道眉, literally meaning 'yellow-line eyebrow', from Chinese, and 3. 画眉鳥 gabi-chō literally 'painted eyebrow bird', also from Chinese, normally used for the hwamei.
The word シマ shima is written either 縞 'striped' or 島 'island'. Both are pronounced shima. The first might refer to the striated pattern in the bird's plumage; the second might apply to a restricted or island distribution. It's not clear which is meant in this name.
The ジ ji in アオジ ao-ji, クロジ kuro-ji, and ノジコ no-jiko are etymologically related, although the ultimate etymology is not clear.
ジ ji and ジコ jiko may both be written 鵐, a character devised to write the old name シトド shitodo 'bunting'. The name アオジ ao-ji as a whole may be written 蒿雀 or 蒿鵐, where 蒿 yomogi means 'mugwort' (Artemisia) and the second character refers to 'bunting' and 'sparrow' respectively. 蒿 refers to the greenish colour of the bird.
ノジコ no-jiko may also be written 野路子 'field road child' or 野地子 'field earth child'. The last two characters in each have been arbitrarily chosen for their sound.
นกจาบปีกอ่อน nók càap-pìik-òaan 'soft-winged-weaverbird (bird)' is used in Thai as the equivalent both to English 'finch' (Fringillidae) and to English 'bunting' (Emberizidae). In Thai these kinds of birds were not traditionally distinguished from each other, and they were considered kinds of จาบ càap 'weaver' (Ploceidae).
