Canary birds got their name from the Canary Islands, where they were first discovered by Europeans in the 15th century. The islands were named after the Latin term "Canariae Insulae," meaning "Islands of the Dogs," due to the large dogs found there. The birds themselves were named after the islands, highlighting their geographical origin. Over time, canaries became popular as pets and were bred for various colors and song types, but their name remained linked to their place of origin.
