Bear in mind that the range of Pycnonotidae overlaps with those languages far more than Luscinia does. The article on the common nightingale mentions that the nightingale is "a conventional cultural substitution for the Persian bulbul", so it's easy to see how a misunderstanding could arise that bulbul actually means nightingale.
