The name "giraffe" is believed to have originated from the Arabic word "zarāfah," which means "fast-walker" or "one who walks swiftly." This name likely refers to the giraffe's characteristic long legs and ability to move quickly across the savannah. The scientific name for the giraffe is Giraffa camelopardalis, with "camelopardalis" stemming from the ancient Greek words for camel and leopard, describing the giraffe's unique appearance.
