    A Swan is a bird from the family Anatidae. It is from the tribe called Cygnini. The word Swan is from Old English which has been derived from German Schwan and Dutch Zwaan.

    A Baby Swan is called a  cygnet. It is from the Latin word for Swan which is Cygnus. The adult male Swan is called a Cob which is from Middle English Cobbe, that means leader of a group. On the other hand, an adult female is known as Pen which has been derived from the Welsh word Pynee which means loud.

      I have also seen baby swans referred to as "flappers", although the standard "cygnet" term is more commonly used.

        A baby swan is called a Cygnet, and a male swan is called a Cob. Sometimes people call them 'Flappers'.
