common kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) · kingfisher, any bird of the Alcedinidae
çekim: çoğul ijsvogels
köken: From Middle Dutch ijsvōgel. Equivalent to ijs (“ice”) + vogel (“bird”). There is some dispute about the origin of the name, some relate the first element to ijzer (“iron”) instead. Compare German Eisvogel, Icelandic ísfugl.
köken: From zima (“winter”) + -o- + rodzić (“to give birth”) + -ek, literally “born in winter”. Parallel to Russian зиморо́док (zimoródok). Compare typologically Czech ledňáček, Russian леди́нник (ledínnik) (akin to Russian лёд (ljod)); Danish isfugl, Dutch ijsvogel, German Eisvogel, Hungarian jégmadár, Old English īsearn. See, however, German Eisvogel for another conjecture.
köken: By surface analysis, leden + -áček (Russian леди́нник (ledínnik)). Compare parallel Danish isfugl, Dutch ijsvogel, German Eisvogel (calqued into Hungarian jégmadár), Old English īsearn (analyzable as akin to ice, see, however Eisvogel for another conjecture). Also compare typologically Polish zimorodek, Russian зиморо́док (zimoródok), akin to зима́ (zimá).
From Middle High German īsvogel, from Old High German īsfogal; compare Dutch ijsvogel, Icelandic ísfugl. By surface analysis, Eis + Vogel. The former stem, however, is considered to be a variant of Eisen (Old High German īsarn), most likely referring to the green-blue upperparts with pale azure-blue back and rump of the adult bird. But compare parallel Czech ledňáček, Russian леди́нник (ledínnik)…
