See πελεκάν on Wiktionary

Noun [Ancient Greek]

IPA: /pe.le.kán/, /pe.leˈkan/, /pe.leˈkan/, /pe.le.kán/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /pe.leˈkan/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /pe.leˈkan/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /pe.leˈkan/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /pe.leˈkan/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Derived from πέλεκυς (pélekus, “axe”), because of the functional and/or formal similarity with an axe. Compare similar bird names, like πελεκανός (pelekanós, “coot”), πελεκᾶς (pelekâs, “woodpecker”) and πελεκῖνος (pelekînos, “pelican”). Furnée compares σπέλεκτος (spélektos, “pelican”), suggesting a Pre-Greek etymology.
