Relating to the Balearic Islands, located off the eastern coast of Spain, or their people and culture.
From Latin 'Balearis,' referring to the Balearic Islands. The name possibly derives from 'balliarici' or from the islanders' famous skill with sling-throwing ('ballista').
Balearic sandgrouse and Balearic shearwaters are named after these islands, and the name lives on in modern biology because Renaissance naturalists loved naming species after geographic discoveries!
