It depends on whether you are talking about a species (group) or a subspecies.
Panthera tigris includes all true tigers, including Bengals, Siberians, and the other 7 identified subspecies (3 are extinct).
Panthera tigris tigris is specifically the Bengal tiger. Other subspecies have separate names. For example, the Siberian tiger has the separate subspecies Panthera tigris altaica.

How did tiger bay get its name?
The word "tiger" is taken from the Greek word "tigris", which is possibly derived from a Persian source meaning "arrow", a reference to the animal's speed and also the origin for the name of the Tigris river. In American English, "Tigress" was first recorded in 1611. It was one of the many species originally described, as Felis tigris, by Linnaeus in his 18th century work, Systema Naturae. The generic component of its scientific designation, Panthera tigris, is often presumed to derive from Greek pan- and theron, but this may be a folk etymology. Although it came into English through the classical languages, panthera is probably of East Asian origin, meaning "the yellowish animal", or "whitish-yellow".A group of tigers is rare, but when seen together is termed a "streak" or an "ambush".tigers stripes are like fingerprints there are no two alike.
