Hylobatidae 源自希臘文 ὕλη (húlē,「樹林、森林」) 和希臘文 βαίνω (baínō,「遊蕩、漫步」),意思是「在樹林裡出沒的人」,指的是這些動物有強烈的領地性,會用激烈的聲音和視覺表現來捍衛自己的疆界.

Hylobatidae, from Greek ὕλη (húlē, “woods, forest”) and Greek βαίνω (baínō, “to wander, to stroll”), means “one who haunts the woods”, in reference to the fact that these animals are fiercely territorial, defending their boundaries with vigorous vocal and visual displays.
