ブラックバード is a direct loanword from English and may refer to blackbirds in general, while クロウタドリ is the specific Japanese name for Turdus merula.
The name クロウタドリ is a compound of 黒 (kuro, 'black') + 歌 (uta, 'song') + 鳥 (tori, 'bird'), literally 'black songbird'. The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the spelling reflects its appearance and melodious call.
