Look up siskin in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
The name siskin when referring to a
bird is derived from an adaptation of the German dialect words sisschen, zeischen, which are diminutive forms of
Middle High German (zîsec) and
Middle Low German (ziseke, sisek) words, which are themselves apparently of
Slavic origin. The name siskin was first recorded in written English in 1562, referring to the
Eurasian siskin, Spinus spinus.[1]
