The name given to a specific organism by the science of taxonomy may be related to the characteristics of the organism, as in the case of the well known fruit fly (much beloved of genetic researchers) known as drosophila melanogaster, which means (in Latin) black-bellied moisture lover. However, not every species has such a descriptive name. Species can also be named for the person who first observed that species. Taxonomists can use whatever names they see fit.
Scientific names are typically based on key characteristics of the organism, such as physical features or genetic composition. However, they are not specifically based on habitat or environment. The scientific name aims to provide a unique identification for the species that is consistent across languages and regions.
Sometimes, but not always. Sometimes they are based on the name of the person who described the organism.
A detailed list of identifying characteristics that includes scientific names is called a taxonomic key. It is used to aid in the identification of organisms by providing a systematic way to determine their classification based on specific characteristics.
Scientific names typically provide information about the organism's classification, including its genus and species. They are standardized across languages and regions, helping scientists communicate effectively about specific species. Additionally, scientific names may offer insights into an organism's characteristics, behavior, or habitat based on the Latin or Greek roots of the name.
There is no scientific name for "handsome" as it is a subjective term used to describe someone's physical appearance. Scientific names are used for the classification of living organisms based on their characteristics.
A non-living thing does not have a scientific name because scientific names are used to classify and describe living organisms based on their characteristics and relationships. Scientific names are given to species, genera, families, and other taxonomic categories within the living world.

No, they are often based on the name of the person who discovered and described the organism.
Scientific names are based on biological and evolutionary relationships.

Scientific names are based on Latin and Greek. These languages are used because they are considered universal and do not change over time, ensuring consistency in the names of organisms across different languages and regions.

The first name in a scientific name represents the genus of the organism, which groups species based on shared characteristics. The second name represents the species within that genus, distinguishing it from other closely related species. Together, the two names form a unique identifier for each species.
