The choice of "flautist" (from the Italian flautista, from flauto, and adopted due to 18th century Italian influence) versus "flutist" is the source of minor dispute among players of the instrument. Italian ( or lingua italiana) is a Romance language spoken by about 63 million people as a First language, primarily in Italy. Many words of Italian origin have entered other languages A large part of Musical terminology is Italian as are popular foods from Italian cuisine. "Flutist" is the earlier term in the English language, dating from at least 1603 (the earliest quote cited by the Oxford English Dictionary), while "flautist" is not recorded before 1860, when it was used by Nathaniel Hawthorne in The Marble Faun. The Oxford English Dictionary ( OED) published by the Oxford University Press (OUP is a comprehensive Dictionary of the English Nathaniel Hawthorne (born Nathaniel Hathorne; July 4 1804 – May 19 1864 was an American novelist and Short story writer The Marble Faun (1860 was the last of the four major romances by Nathaniel Hawthorne. While the print version of the OED does not indicate any regional preference for either form, the online Compact OED characterizes "flutist" as an American usage. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the [1]

Richard Rockstro in his three volume treatise The Flute[2] written in England in 1890 uses "flute-player".

The American player and writer Nancy Toff, in her The Flute Book, devotes more than a page to the subject, commenting that she is asked "Are you a flutist or a flautist?" on a weekly basis. She prefers "flutist": "Ascribe my insistence either to a modest lack of pretension or to etymological evidence; the result is the same. " Toff, who is also an editor for Oxford University Press [1], describes in some detail the etymology of words for "flute", comparing OED, Fowler's Dictionary of Modern Usage, Evans' Dictionary of Contemporary American Usage, and Copperud's American Usage and Style: The Consensus before arriving at her conclusion. A Dictionary of Modern English Usage, often referred to as Fowler's Modern English Usage or simply as Fowler's or Fowler [3]

The first edition of the OED lists fluter as dating from circa 1400 and Fowler's Modern English Usage[4] states that "there seems no good reason" why flautist should have prevailed over fluter or flutist. However, according to Webster's Dictionary of English Usage,[5] flautist is the preferred term in British English, and while both terms are used in American English flutist is "by far the more common choice".

James Galway summed up the way many players of the flute feel about "flautist", saying, "I am a flute player, not a flautist. Sir James Galway OBE (born December 8, 1939) is a Northern Ireland &ndashborn Virtuoso flautist from Belfast, nicknamed I don't have a flaut, and I've never flauted. "
