Galliformes is a scientific order of heavy-bodied, ground-feeding birds (landfowl) named from Latin gallus ("cock/rooster") and forma ("shape/form").

Phasianidae from Phasianus: Latin for "pheasant", derived from the Ancient Greek φἀσιἀνος, phāsiānos, meaning "(bird) of the Phasis", the River Phasis (now the Rioni) in Colchis on the east coast of the Black Sea (now western Georgia).

The genus name combines the Ancient Greek λοφος/lophos meaning "crest" with ουρα/oura meaning "tail".
