The Spanish Flu has a scientific name of Hemophilus Influenzae. The virus which surfaced in 1918 was the most widespread pandemic infection in world history. It has since been determined that the flu came from genetic deviations in poultry and swine at Fort Riley, Kansas, that resulted in the disease being passed on to humans.

Since viruses are not alive, they do not have scientific names. They are called "influenza" or flu. The first Swine Flu or bird flu was named Influenza A/H1N1.
