The „Würger“ is a bird first described in 1758. It is a type of starling that due to its call is also known as a Shrike in English. The biological genus type is the „Lanius“ which is Latin for butcher. This classification was chosen because of the bird‘s largely carnivorous diet. With regard to the plane - it is only known as the Butcher Bird in the Anglosphere, I assume because it sounds brutal and therefore conforms to Nazi stereotypes. Even in German aviation literature the name „Würger“ is rarely mentioned. It is generally referred to as the FW-190, analogous to identifying the Me-109, shorthand really.
