History of lechuza

The Latin word was noctua (“owl”, literally “night bird”), which would have created Old Spanish *notua or *nochuza. Lechuza apparently resulted from a cross between Old Spanish *nochuza and leche (“milk”), due to the popular belief at the time that owls came at night to give babies milk.
