From Old Italian serino (“a kind of small yellow bird”), from New Latin Serinus, the genus name (introduced in 1816 by Carl Ludwig Koch), from Latin serinus (“canary-like bird, yellow finch”). This Latin term is considered to be derived from Latin Latin citrinus (“lemon-colored, citron-like”) by a common Romance sound shift of initial /k/ to /s/ before front vowels, reflecting the bird's yellow plumage.
