Where did an ostrich get its name?

It's just... a name. Like alligator, or a squirrel, there is really no meaning to the name, unless maybe if you go way back in science history, or ostrich history or whatever, maybe it's supposed to sound like something in history that resembled the life form that evolved into an ostrich.
