The genus name Larus is from Ancient Greek laros or Latin larus, which appears to have referred to a gull or other large seabird.

Fuscus is a Latin adjective meaning "dark," "swarthy," "dusky," or "brown", and can also describe a "hoarse" or "husky" voice. While it is a Latin term, it is frequently associated with the Greek prefix phae- or phaeo- (from phaios, meaning "dusky" or "gray-brown") when used in scientific or taxonomic naming conventions to describe similar dark or somber colorations.
