Papagei

From Middle High German papegei, from Old French papegai, from Old Spanish papagayo, from Byzantine Greek παπαγάς (papagás), from Arabic بَبَّغَاء (babbaḡāʔ). Further origin unknown, perhaps from an African language or imitative. The Middle High German variant papegān may have been borrowed directly from Byzantine Greek during the Crusades; compare modern Turkish papağan.
