"夜莺,古世界的小候鸟,以雄鸟的悦耳歌声而闻名,无论白天还是黑夜都能听到。" 中古英语 nighte-gale,源自古英语 næctigalæ,在古英语晚期变为 nihtegale,这是一个由原始日耳曼语言形成的复合词(比较荷兰语 nachtegaal,德语 Nachtigall),由 *nakht- "夜晚"(参见 night) 和 *galon "唱歌" 组成,与古英语 giellan "大声喊叫" 相关(源自 PIE 词根 *ghel- (1) "呼叫")。13世纪中叶开始出现寄生的 -n-。荷兰语中的 Dutch nightingale 意为“青蛙”,可追溯至1769年。在日语中,“夜莺地板”是指走在上面会吱吱作响的木板。
法语 rossignol(古法语 lousseignol)与西班牙语 ruiseñor 、葡萄牙语 rouxinol 、意大利语 rosignuolo 一样,源自拉丁俗语 *rosciniola,这是拉丁语 lusciniola(夜莺)的变体,是 luscinia(夜莺)的爱称,根据德·范(de Vaan)的说法,“可能可以从 *lusci-cania '在夜晚唱歌' 或 '盲歌手' 解释,但这是推测性的。”
Middle English, variant (with intrusive n) of nyhtegale, nyghtgale, going back to Old English nehtægale, nihtegale, going back to West Germanic *nahti-galōn, from *nahti- night >entry 1 + -galōn, noun derivative of Germanic *galan- "to sing," whence Old English galan "to sing, call, sing enchantments," Old High German, "to sing enchantments, conjure," Old Norse gala "to crow, chant, sing," perhaps of onomatopoeic origin Note: Germanic *galan- has been compared with Gothic goljan "to greet," Old Norse gæla "to comfort, soothe, appease," allegedly from a causative derivative *gōljan- from underlying *gol-. Proposed Indo-European comparisons (as Russian dialect galit' "to smile," galit'sja "to mock, jeer," Armenian gełgełem "sing beautifully, quiver, vibrate") are tenuous. See also etymology at yell >entry 1.
