The Leiothrichidae are one of the main families resulting from the break-up of the former Timaliidae assemblage. (Others include the Timaliidae, Pellorneidae, Pnoepygidae, and Vireonidae, and parts of the Zosteropidae and Sylviidae.)
Possibly because many species are conspicuous and familiar birds, particularly as cage birds, a number of ornithological names of the Leiothrichidae draw on existing traditional names:
1. Laughing-thrush (Garrulax and Trochalopteron) and liochiclas (Liochicla) are together called by the old name นกกะราง nók kà-raaŋ 'laughingthrush (bird)'. Besides the laughing-thrushes and liochiclas, this name is also used for the Hoopoe (Upupidae), นกกะรางหัวขวาน nók kà-raaŋ-hŭa-kʰwăan 'woodpecker laughingthrush (bird)', where นกหัวขวาน nók hŭa-kʰwăan, literally 'axe-headed bird', is a general name for the woodpeckers (Picidae).
2. Mesias (Leiothrix) are called นกกะรอง nók kà-roaaŋ 'mesia (bird)'.
3. Barwings (Actinodura) are called นกปีกลาย nók pìik-laay 'striped-wing (bird)', most likely a loan translation from English.
4. Minlas (Chrysominla and Siva) are called นกศิวะ nók sì-wá 'Shiva bird'. Thai ศิวะ sì-wá 'Shiva' from Sanskrit and Pali śiva is the name of a popular Hindu god.
5. Sibias (Heterophasia and Leioptila) are called นกหางรำ nók hăaŋ-ram 'dancing-tail (bird)'.
6. The nun babblers (Alcippe) are known as นกมุ่นรกคอแดง nók mûn-rók 'fulvetta (bird)'. The fulvettas are now spread across several genera straddling three different families (Leiothrichidae, Pellorneidae, and Sylviidae).
7. The cutia is known as นกขัติยา nók kàt-tì-yaa 'cutia (bird)', from English 'cutia'.
Family name
The family name used here, นกกินแมลงนักร้อง nók kin-ma-laeeŋ nák-róaaŋ 'singer insect-eater (bird)', is a term for the 'song babblers' under broad divisions drawn within the former Timaliidae assemblage.

In its original sense, 雀 què meant 'sparrow' in Chinese, although from a very early stage it came to be used for the finches. It also occurs in the name 山雀 shān-què 'mountain sparrow/finch', which is the ornithological name for the tits (Paridae). Here, 雀 què is an abbreviation for 山雀 shān-què ('tit'). 雀鹛 què-méi is, in fact, the Chinese equivalent of English 'tit babbler'.
The term 畫眉鳥 gabi-chō 'painted-eyebrow-bird' is from Chinese 畫眉 huà-méi 'painted-eyebrow', which primarily refers to the Hwamei or Melodious Laughing-thrush (Leiothrichidae). It has been extended in ornithological Japanese to many of the laughing-thrushes (Garrulax and related genera) and occasionally other families.
The word Họa mi is a borrowing from Chinese 畫眉 huà-méi 'painted-eyebrow', the name of the Hwamei or Melodious Laughing-thrush. In Vietnamese, in addition to the Hwamei itself, it has been applied ornithologically to the Chestnut-capped Babbler and scimitar babblers (Timaliidae) and the Yellow-eyed Babbler (Sylviidae).
ศิวะ sì-wá 'Shiva' from Sanskrit and Pali śiva is the name of a popular Hindu god.
