A harpie is a creature with a bird’s body and a woman’s head, which sings at sea to lure ships in and its sailors to their deaths.

In Buddhist and Hindu cultures, a half-human and half-bird creature is called a kinnara.

In Greek and Roman mythology, the Sirens are half-women and half-bird, as were the Harpies.

Hope that helps.

There really is no particular name, it depends on the species. There are the harpies, the sirens, and the sphinx were all half human, half bird.
