Galliformes is the scientific (Latin-based) name for the order of heavy-bodied, ground-feeding birds like chickens, turkeys, pheasants, and quail; the name itself comes from the Latin word "gallus," meaning "cock" or "rooster". 

The family name Phasianidae comes from Latin phasianus, meaning "pheasant," which itself derives from the Ancient Greek word phāsiānos (φᾱσιανός), meaning "bird of the Phasis," named after the ancient river Phasis (now Rioni) in Georgia, where these birds were known to Europeans. So, the root is Greek (Phasis) -> Latin (Phasianus) -> New Latin (Phasianidae). 

The genus name is Latin for pheasant.

Tragopan is a bird genus in the pheasant family Phasianidae. 
Member of the genus are commonly called "horned pheasants" because males have two brightly colored, fleshy horns on their head that can be erected during courtship displays.
