Sarcelle d'hiver
The scientific name is from Latin "Anas", "duck" and "kricka", the Swedish name for this species. The specific name of Linnaeus is onomatopoetic, referring to the male's characteristic call which was already discussed by Linnaeus' sources. The scientific name of the Eurasian teal—unchanged since Linnaeus' time— therefore translates as "duck that makes "cryc""; common names like the Bokmål "krikkand", Danish "krikand" and German "Krickente" mean the same.
