The name is a word creation by Haimovitz from ox (ox) and nightingale (nightingale). It is based on a saying attributed to Voltaire who said to the cellist Jean-Louis Duport : "Sir, it is a miracle. You have turned the ox into a nightingale." The Oxingale logo shows a chimera with a four-legged friend that has a bird's head.
