Fratercula arctica - Little brother of the North

This name means little brother of the north in latin. Little brother alludes to little friar referring the Puffins black and white plumage which is reminiscent of a friars robe. A second connotation of little friar may be drawn from the Puffins sometime habit of holding its feet together when taking off, suggestive of hands clasped together in prayer.
