Con i termini trovatello, esposto o proietto veniva indicato, specialmente in passato, il bambino abbandonato dai genitori in tenera età o non riconosciuto alla nascita. Spesso si trattava di bambini illegittimi, ma i due concetti non vanno confusi.

A waif (from the Old French guaif, "stray beast") is a person removed, by hardship, loss or other helpless circumstance, from their original surroundings. The most common usage of the word is to designate a homeless, forsaken or orphaned child, or someone whose appearance is evocative of the same. As such, the term is similar to a ragamuffin or street urchin, although the main distinction is volitional: a runaway youth might live on the streets, but would not properly be called a waif as the departure from one's home was an exercise of free will. Likewise, a person fleeing their home for purposes of safety (as in response to political oppression or natural disaster), is typically considered not a waif but a refugee.
