The Baltimore oriole got its name from the colors of the male bird's plumage, which resemble the colors of the coat of arms of Lord Baltimore, the founder of the Maryland colony. The bright orange and black coloration reminded early settlers of the emblem associated with the Baltimore family. This connection to Maryland led to the bird being named after the city of Baltimore.
