The bald eagle's scientific name, Haliaeetus leucocephalus, stands for:sea (halo), eagle (aeetos) and white (leukos), as in the feathers on the eagle's head. So there you have it, the bald eagle is a seabird with a white head.Bald comes from the old word balde, meaning white, and as you probably know Bald Eagles have white head and tail feathers. So Bald Eagle basically means White Eagle.They have white feathers on their heads.From a distance this made it look like they had no feathers on their heads, and they appeared to be bald.The bald eagles name comes from Latin.
