Phalaropus is a genus of birds commonly known as phalarope.

1/ Red-necked phalarope (Dẽ cổ đỏ, Rẽ cổ đỏ, Phalaropus lobatus), also known as the northern phalarope and hyperborean phalarope

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 word Scolopacidae is New Latin, derived from the genus name Scolopax (Latin for "snipe" or "woodcock") and the common zoological suffix for family names, -idae.

Phalaropus (the genus name for phalaropes) comes from Ancient Greek: phalaris (meaning "coot") + pous (meaning "foot"), essentially translating to "coot-footed," because these birds have lobed toes like coots, a key feature for their swimming and feeding style. 

The English and genus names come through French phalarope.
