A lark that mounts and sings as it files, especially the common species (Alauda arvensis) found in Europe and in some parts of Asia, and celebrated for its melodious song; -- called also sky laverock. See under Lark.

There is a woman named Astrid Alauda who wrote a book on Psychology in 1990.

Agaricus arvensis was created in 1762.

Sherardia arvensis was created in 1753.

Alauda probably comes from the Latin root: laudo, which means; to praise or extoll. And it could even be related to the Italian word: laude, which means; a poem, hymn, or devotional song. Avensis is Latin and means, among other things: to carry away. This name was probably chosen as the scientific name for the skylark because the male bird flies very high, up to 100 meters (300 feet), before it sings its song, apparently, to the heavens.
