General

Information is from dictionaries and other sources. Comments and corrections welcome. Hover over Green Lettering Green lettering at this site hides a tool tip with glosses, further explanations, etc. Hover cursor to reveal. to see additional information.

The widely used common name for the woodpeckers in Thai is นกหัวขวาน nók hŭa-kʰwăan 'axe-headed bird' (woodpecker), which is also used in the family name for the Picidae. The wryneck has a unique name, but all other members of the Picidae have names which incorporate the general name for 'woodpecker'. While the general name is in wide usage, individual species names all appear to be modern ornithological creations.

The Thai name for Hoopoe (Upupidae) also incorporates the descriptor หัวขวาน hŭa-kʰwăan 'axe-headed' based on its resemblance to a woodpecker.

Ornithological naming

Groupings which roughly correspond to scientific divisions are shown in the following table. In addition, a few of the more resemblant species share additional partial elements to their names.

ไพล pʰlay (Zingiber cassumunar, Zingiber montanum, or Zingiber purpureum) is a plant in the ginger family (Zingiberidae) widely used in traditional Thai medicine. Extracts typically have a greenish yellow to brown colour, and the name is used here as a colour word equivalent to English 'olivaceous'.
