The scientific naming system that is used world-wide today was first devised by Swedish naturalist Carolus Linnaeus in 1737. He proposed a two-part naming system which classifies every living organism with a string of Latin and Greek identifiers. Full names are devised starting with kingdom and extending downward through phylum, subphylum, class, order, family, genus and species. The binomal nomenclature (two-part name), consists of the genus and species of the organism and is used to prevent the confusion that may arise with common names.
The binomial nomenclature of an organism belongs to a universal format: the genus of the organism is the first name, is always capitalized, and acts as a noun. The species of the organism is always the second name, is minuscule (lower-case), and acts as an adjective. Take, for example, the cougar. The cougar's genus is Puma, and its species is known as concolor. The entire name would read as follows: Puma concolor, or P. concolor for short.
Binomial nomenclature is what the scientific naming system is referred to as.
Whitakers system .
Carolus Created a naming system for organisms called BIONOMIAL NOMENCLATURE . where each organism is given a two part name.
The two word system that was devised for naming organisms is called "binomial nomenclature." "Binomial" is defined as "two names." ~ Kimberlee
Usually the genus and species names are used to identify different organisms.

Carl Linnaeus laid the foundation for binomial nomenclature, the modern naming system of biology. Binomial nomenclature calls for giving a species a name of at least two parts, both using Latin grammatical forms. In addition, he is considered the father of modern taxonomy as well as one of the fathers of modern ecology.
Carl Linnaeus is known as the father of modern taxonomy. Although a system of binomial naming had been in use for some time, it was unorganized. Linnaeus, through documented studies and publications, was able to normalize the naming system that is still in use today.
His naming system was too long

classical naming system
The chemical nomenclature system is used in naming compounds.
classification refers to identifying, naming and grouping of organisms into formal system based on similarities of their internal and external structure or evalutionary history RIGHT OUT OF THE BIOLOGY BOOK :D
Johann Bayer developed the Bayer system of naming stars, which assigns stars a Greek letter as part of their identification. Usually this is related to the star's relative brightness or position in a constellation.
Bi-nomial, nomenclature, refers to the Latin, meaning 2 names. It is oft used in biology. For example: felus domesticus. Long live the cat!!!
The first naming system worked through a process of naming system called binomial nomenclature.It has two parts :GENUSSPECIES
