Grierson states, Kurukh may be connected with Tamil kurugu, an eagle, and be the name of a totemistic clan.
The latter were the ancestors of the Oraons or Kurukhs, while the former were the progenitors of the Male or Saonria, as they often call themselves." Towards Lohardaga the Oraons found themselves among the Mundas or Kols, who probably retired by degrees and left them in possession of the country.
