Emberiza is a genus of passerine birds of the bunting family Emberizidae. Created by Carl Linnaeus in his epic 1758 treatise, 10th edition of Systema Naturae, the genus contains 41 extant and one extinct species.
The genus name Emberiza is from Old German Embritz, a bunting. The origin of English "bunting" is unknown.
