Interestingly, the word loony is NOT related to the word loon! Loony comes from lunatic, a word that comes from lunar, because long ago some people believed that a full moon made people go crazy. Despite calls that make it sound maniacal, the word loon actually comes from a Shetland Islands word loom, which comes from the Icelandic word lomr and the Swedish word lom, which both refer to someone who is lame or clumsy. Loons were called this because of how awkward and clumsy they appear on land.
