Eka pada bakasana is derived from the Sanskrit eka meaning “one,” pada meaning “foot,” baka, meaning “crane,” and asana, meaning "pose." Therefore, it may also be referred to as one-legged crane pose in English. It is also sometimes referred to as one-legged crow pose (eka pada kakasana); however, in the crow variation, the arms are bent, while in the crane variation, the arms are straight.
