Waterford Today - 2 March 2005 - Waterford Wildlife - Linnets: "The word ‘Linnet’ comes from the old French ‘linette’ and the bird has been known by that name since the thirteenth century. It is derived from the Latin word for flax ‘linum’ and the diminutive suffix ‘ette’ which is comparable to the English word ‘ling’ or the Irish ‘een’."
