I bet barn owls were thrilled once barns were invented, finally made their names make sense.

And the church, for the ones that are church owls.

Barnies are (used to be?) called effraie des clochers (colorfully, "the thing that scares you in church bell towers") in French or kerkuil (more straightforward " church owl") in Dutch, for example.

Yeah but back then everything in church was to scare you. There's probably some "terrifying church mouse" or something.
