Siskin

The name siskin when referring to a bird is derived from an adaptation of the German dialect words sisschen, zeischen, which are diminutive forms of Middle High German (zîsec) and Middle Low German words, with cognates in Slavic languages, cf. Czech čížek; these names are of onomatopoeic origin. The name siskin was first recorded in written English in 1544 in William Turner's Avium praecipuarum, quarum apud Plinium et Aristotelem mentio est, brevis et succincta historia, referring to the Eurasian siskin Spinus spinus.
