The word "gizzard" comes from the Middle English giserdd, which derives from a similar word in Old French, and earlier from the Vulgar Latin "*gicerium", which follows from the Latin word "gigeria", meaning cooked entrails of poultry. The Latin word "gigeria" probably is derived from the Persian word for liver, which is "jiger". Emus, turkeys and chickens, like all birds, have gizzards. Mullets (Mugilidae) found in estuarine waters worldwide, and the gizzard shad, or mud shad, found in freshwater lakes and streams from New York to Mexico, have gizzards.
