I had a saluki who I named Shaheen, along with her brother, who was already named Sakr (which means falcon or hawk). I didn't find out until after I named her that this is what her name meant.

“Indian Pita”
Description: “Indian pitta is always among my favorite birds. The small, around 20 cm, stubby-tailed bird, has a brilliantly-colored plumage, but is shy and can be heard more than seen. Probably the name Pitta is derived from the Telegu word pitta which means a small bird.
Pittas are mainly seen in dense undergrowth, hopping around on the ground, industriously foraging for insects like spiders, small worms, slugs and even small snails.”
