English

The kakapo was originally described by English ornithologist George Robert Gray in 1845 and named Strigops habroptilus.[note 1] Its generic name Strigops is derived from the Ancient Greek strix, genitive strigos "owl", and ops "face", while its specific epithet habroptilus comes from habros "soft", and ptilon "feather".[7] The bird has so many unusual features that it was initially placed in its own tribe, Strigopini.

Hungarian

Binominális neve az ógörög strix, genitive strigos "bagoly", illetve az ops "arc" tagokból tevődik össze, míg a faj megnevezése a habros "könnyű", illetve a ptilon "toll" szavak összetétele.[7] E madárfaj számos szokatlan tulajdonsággal rendelkezik, amely miatt a Strigopini törzsbe sorolták.
