Northern lapwing 
(Te mào, Vanellus vanellus), 
also known as the peewit or pewit, tuit or tewit, green plover, or (in Ireland and Great Britain) pyewipe or just lapwing

The northern lapwing (Vanellus vanellus) is a bird in the lapwing subfamily.
The bird species is highly migratory wintering south as far as North Africa, northern India, Nepal, Bhutan and parts of China. 

The term Charadriiformes comes from New Latin, combining the Greek word kharadrios ("a bird of river valleys" or "a bird of ravines") and the Latin suffix -formes meaning "forms" or "shaped like". Therefore, Charadriiformes translates to "birds shaped like or resembling the charadrius," which is a type of plover or stone curlew historically found in dry river beds or ravines. 

The family name Charadriidae has the same origin as the order name from the Greek word kharadrios ("a bird of river valleys" or "a bird of ravines").

Vanellus is a Latin word meaning "little fan". The name refers to the sound of the wings in flight, which was compared to the sound of a winnowing fan. It is a diminutive of the Latin word vannus (“fan for winnowing grain”).
