Disputed. Perhaps from Proto-Italic *kikōniā, from Proto-Indo-European *kekoh₂n- (“stork”), a reduplicated derivative of Proto-Indo-European *keh₂n- (“to sing”), whence also Latin canō (“to sing”).
Cognate to Proto-Germanic *hanô (“rooster, cock”), Proto-Germanic *hanjō (“hen”) (whence English hen), Proto-Slavic *kaňa (“accipitrid”) (whence Russian каню́к (kanjúk, “buzzard”), Bulgarian ка́ня (kánja, “kite”), Bulgarian каню́ша (kanjúša, “stork”) (dialectal)).
De Vaan doubts the relation to canō, arguing that it is unlikely for the noise of a stork to be labeled as "singing" unless it is intended to be ironic. He suggests the initial reduplication is likely onomatopoeic in origin.
