Etymology of PIRANGA

The word "piranga" has its origins in the Tupi-Guarani language. Tupi-Guarani is a family of indigenous languages spoken by various Native American tribes in present-day Brazil.

In Tupi-Guarani, "piranga" referred specifically to a species of bird with a bright red or scarlet plumage. This bird was later classified as a type of tanager, a family of small to medium-sized songbirds found primarily in the Americas.

As European explorers and naturalists encountered these birds in the New World, they adopted the term "piranga" to refer to this specific group of tanagers. The word "piranga" eventually became a common name used in scientific and ornithological contexts.
