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.

Extracts typically have a greenish yellow to brown colour, and the name is used here as a colour word equivalent to English 'olivaceous'.
