In the Thai traditional classification, several large colourful birds were called นกขุนแผน nók kʰŭn-pʰăeen. Although with the advent of scentific classification these birds ended up in two different families, the Trogonidae and the Corvidae, all of them continue to have the traditional designation as part of their modern ornithological names.
Because most of these birds are trogons, นกขุนแผน nók kʰŭn-pʰăeen has come to mean 'trogon' and is used in the family name for the Trogonidae. However, the ornithological naming system has kept the unmodified form นกขุนแผน nók kʰŭn-pʰăeen as the species name for Urocissa erythrorhyncha (Corvidae), the Red-billed Blue Magpie. Therefore all of the trogon species names have additional descriptive elements to distinguish them from the name of this magpie. Note that the traditional classification united all of these birds as a single kind of bird for which no single English term is comparable.
