What Wikipedia says

Kite is the common name for certain birds of prey in the family Accipitridae, particularly in the subfamilies Elaninae and Perninae and certain genera within Buteoninae and Harpaginae. The term is derived from Old English cȳta, onomatopoeic from the call notes of the buzzard (Buteo buteo) and red kite (Milvus milvus).
