'''''Ichthyaetus''''' is a [[genus]] of [[gull]]s in the order [[Charadriiformes]]. The [[genus name]] comes from [[Ancient Greek]] [[wikt:ἰχθύς|ἰχθύς]] (''ikhthús''), meaning "fish", and [[wikt:ἀετός|ἀετός]] (''aetós''), meaning "eagle", and thus, "fish eagle".<ref name=job>{{cite book | last= Jobling | first= James A | year= 2010| title= The Helm Dictionary of Scientific Bird Names | url= https://archive.org/details/Helm_Dictionary_of_Scientific_Bird_Names_by_James_A._Jobling | publisher= Christopher Helm | location = London | isbn = 978-1-4081-2501-4 | pages =[https://archive.org/details/Helm_Dictionary_of_Scientific_Bird_Names_by_James_A._Jobling/page/n224 224]}}</ref> They were previously included in the genus ''[[Larus]]''.<ref>Pons J.M., Hassanin, A., and Crochet P.A.(2005).
