English term or phrase: "Falcon Warrior" and "Falcon God"

The phrases appear in several early 19th and 20th c. English texts regarding Mongolian folktales. Both phrases are treated as proper names. Henning Haslund's "Men and Gods in Mongolia" (1935) mentions "Falcon Warrior" in English, but erred by omitting the Khalkha Mongol.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
