The peacock got its name from Old English. It comes from the Latin word pavo which literally means peacock. A male is a peacock while a female is a peahen. But the term peacock is used today to describe either one.
Peacock has two linguistic components.
The "Pea" is a corruption of the Latin "pavo" which refers to "fowl"
The "Cock" is a reference to male-form of the peacock.
A peacock is really a male peafowl, the female is called a peahen, so together they are called peafowl.
Peafowl (the males are peacocks, the females are peahens, and the babies are peachicks) are in the genus Pavo. "Pea" is a corruption of that word.
