The name "curlew" is believed to be derived from the Old French word "corlieu" or "curleu," which is thought to refer to the bird's distinctive, curved bill. This etymology reflects the curlew's notable physical characteristic that helps it forage for food in mud and shallow water. The name has evolved through various languages over time, but it consistently highlights the bird's unique morphology.
