The scientific name is 'Ectopistes migratorius. Ecto and is from the Latin word 'outside' and 'piste' is Italian for 'trail.' It is translated as a 'wanderer' or one that goes off the trail. 'Migratorous' is Latin 'Migrare' meaning: 'to change location periodically.' The French used a more common name 'Pigeon de passage' or 'pigeon of passage' because of the huge size of the migratory flocks passing overhead.
