The answer is because there is a unique bird in Liverpool. No ornithologist can tell what kind of bird the liver bird is. Because it's completely fictional. Its appearance was covered with a mysterious veil. Even so, its origin is really unclear. It may be an eagle at first. In ancient times, the eagle was the symbol of St. John. It was chosen as its symbol by the ancient king John. King John played an important role in the development of Liverpool, a small fishing port at that time (Liverpool was only known in the13rd century). 1797 When Liverpool became an autonomous region, there was a bird on the coat of arms (people regarded it as a cormorant, and its Latin name was Phalacrocorax carbo) with seaweed in its mouth. Liver (gradually mixed with the name of the present city) means seaweed in ancient times, and cormorants use seaweed and various plants to build nests. In the past fishing port, where cormorants built their nests, the legendary liver bird was found, which is probably the origin of the legend. The locals say these birds are called liver birds. In the works of American novelist herman melville, the legend of the liver bird has spread all over the world (the famous Moby Dick, named Moby Dick in Chinese, was published in 185 1, and the content is the story that Captain Ihab went through all the hardships to chase a white whale symbolizing evil and finally died with it). In another novel, Redburn, Melville tells the legend of the liver bird that he read in 1839. When you mention Liverpool now, you will also mention this legend. Although there is still debate about whether this bird is a cormorant or an eagle, it seems that this bird has both characteristics. The liver bird has the power of an eagle, but it is friendly to people and has magical power. Before the establishment of 1892 Liverpool Club, the Liver Bird was identified as the symbol of the city, and the emblem of the Nature Club also used the same name. Nowadays, in addition to the phrase "the liver bird is on my chest", there are two bronze statues in the city, one on the pier by the Mersey River and the other on the top of the liver building completed in 19 1 1. Finally, because the predecessor of Liverpool is just a small fishing village built on the edge of a big pond (English is pool). Because the pond here has become a colony of birds, later generations simply call it the liver pool. Simple and straightforward, similar to our China and Hongkong. I am full of energy ...

Liverpool's name comes from two sources. One is that Liverpool was called "Liuerpul" in the12nd century, which means a pond or stream full of mud. Another argument comes from the name' Elvir Pool', because there used to be a large number of eels in mersey river (eels are called eels in English).
