The scientific genus name for long-tailed ducks, used in zoological and ornithological classification.
From hareld, the common name, with Latin feminine suffix '-a' added to create the proper scientific genus designation used in binomial nomenclature.
Scientists named it Harelda in 1822, and this single genus contains one of the most migratory ducks on Earth—some populations travel 50,000 km annually, crossing three continents.
