 * The English name Russel also means "red."
 * He is named after a family of birds called turdidae or, more commonly, thrushes.
 * The thrush (also Turdus philomelos "throstle") is a songbird symbolic of solitude and poetry. Poets are identified with the Thrush by the semantic double meaning of the verb 'to sing', which literally means to utter sounds and to write poems as well; a symbol of concord.
 * Taking his given name into account, he is likely an allusion to the Turdus ruficollis or "red-throated thrush".
