A family of small songbirds found primarily in the Americas, commonly known as warblers or tanagers.
From Greek 'kompsos' (elegant, delicate) + 'thlypis' (female bird), with the Latin family suffix '-idae.' The name suggests birds with elegant or refined characteristics.
Ornithologists named this bird family using Greek words meaning 'elegant bird,' which is fitting because many warblers in this family display intricate, beautiful plumage and complex songs that often require a magnifying glass and field guide to identify correctly.
