Nomenclature
The scientific name of the genus, Clanga, is a popularized rendering of the ancient Greek word clargo < clargo "acute and pervasive voice" < clargo "thrief, scream", with reference to the bird's characteristic voice.

Both the Greek name of the species and the English (Great Spotted Eagle), are directly related to the characteristic, intensely stained wing of young people (see Morphology).

Systematic taxonomics
The species was described by the German zoologist and botanical P. Palace (Peter Simon Pallas, 1741 – 1811), as Aquila Clanga (Russia & Siberia, 1811). It appears problematic taxonomic at the level of the genus, since until 2013, it was classified in Aquila, i.e. the genuine eagles. However, along with the screamer, they were transferred to the Clanga, not meaning that the new situation is static, with the various elements - mainly chromosomals - causing lasting reclassifications.

The stick eagle has the species Aquila (Clanga) pomarina (scream), as its nearest relative. Their common ancestor appears to have appeared around the middle Pleocene Age, from the ancestors of today's Aquila (Clang) hastata, who lives in Iran, Pakistan and India. This "primary-sticket" probably lived in the wider region of Afghanistan, and split into a northern and southern branch, when, both glaciers and deserts prevailed in C. Asia when the last ice age began. The northern branch, in turn, split into eastern (Aquila clanga) and western (Aquila pomarina) branch of today, probably around the Pleocene-Plistocene Age.
These two related species, as a group, are quite different from the typical members of the genus Aquila, the genuine eagles. In addition, new chromosomal data have shown that they are not reproductively isolated, i.e. they can reproduce each other and give hybrid populations (especially male screamers with female cleavages). In fact, such populations must already exist in nature, with females tend to mate with male screamers.

Geographical spread

The stattle eagle is a fully migratory species, which responds exclusively to the Old World, (economies: Palearctic, Afrotropic and Indomalaic), particularly in the central and eastern Palearctic. Its breeding zone has its western boundaries, about Poland and, via Belarus, Estonia, Russia and all of C. Siberia, extends to the Pacific coast, to the latitude of North Korea, about, where it is its eastern boundaries. Throughout this zone (along with some enclaves in Kazakhstan), the stick eagle comes in summer to reproduce. Some persons, possibly, still
