The Ploceidae are called นกกระจาบ nók krà-càap 'weaverbird (bird)', which is based on an old onomatopoeic bird name จาบ càap 'weaverbird' plus an old wildlife prefix กระ- krà-. The Thai name does not carry any implications of weaving.
The names of several other kinds of small birds are also based on จาบ càap:
Bee-eaters (Meropidae) are called นกจาบคา nók càap-kʰaa 'cogon-grass weaverbird (bird)'.
Larks (Alaudidae) are called นกจาบฝน nók càap-fŏn 'rain weaverbird (bird)'.
Jungle-babblers (Timaliidae) are called 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.

雀 què in Chinese refers to small passerine birds. While the earliest meaning appears to be 'sparrow', the extension to finches and other small birds occurred very early.
The kun-reading of the character 雀 is suzume, normally understood as meaning 'sparrow'. However, 雀 can have other readings, including the on-reading jaku. When so read, 雀 in Japanese has the same range of meanings as 雀 què in Chinese. While it is mostly used for small passerines, it also preserves an older, broader meaning in words like 孔雀 kujaku 'peacock'.
