The name is based on a hierarchical classification system which was developed by Carl Linnaeus in the early 1700's - called binomial nomenclature (two names).

By using this system scientists, botanist, zoologists etc. avoid confusing specific species of animals (plants, bacteria etc.) which occurs when referring to them by common names.
