公元13世纪,源自于古法语 faucon “猎鹰”(12世纪),来自于晚期拉丁语 falconem(主格 falco)“猎鹰”(同源词还有古西班牙语 falcon,葡萄牙语 falcão,意大利语 falcone,古高地德语 falcho,德语 Falke,荷兰语 valk),可能源自于拉丁语 falx(属格 falcis)“弯刀,修枝钩,镰刀,战斧”(参见 falcate); 据说这种鸟类因其爪子、腿或喙的形状而被称为“猎鹰”,但也可能是因为其展翅的形状。
另一种理论是,拉丁语鸟名 falx 源自日耳曼语,意为“灰色的鸟”(来自于 PIE 词根 *pel-(1)“苍白”),这一理论得到了日耳曼语中这个词的古老性的支持,但也有人指出,所有的证据表明猎鹰术是从东方传入的,而德国人是从罗马人那里学来的,而不是相反。
