Baltimore Oriole

Icterus galbula

Its orange-and-black matched the coat of arms of Lord Baltimore, the colonial founder of Maryland — so the bird took his name. (The baseball team came centuries later.)

'Oriole' is from Latin aureolus 'golden'; Icterus is Greek for a yellow bird; galbula a small yellow bird. Icterus is also the medical word for jaundice, and ancient writers said looking at a yellow bird could cure it.
