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).
Bambusicola is derived from the New Latin word bambusa (bamboo) and the Latin suffix -cola, meaning "inhabitant," so it translates to "bamboo inhabitant" or "one who lives in bamboo". This name reflects the genus's association with bamboo habitats.
