Euphonias are members of the genus Euphonia, a group of Neotropical birds in the finch family. They and the chlorophonias comprise the subfamily Euphoniinae.
The genus name comes from Ancient Greek εὖ (eû), meaning "well, "good", and φωνή (phōnḗ), meaning "sound", and thus, "of good sound", due to the pleasing calls of the bird.
