When translated the words binomial nomenclature mean "2 names" for the binomial and "system of naming" for the nomenclature.

It is used for identifying different species; the first name being more general and the second being very specific, and only including one species. Example: The wolves' binomial nomenclature is "Canis Lupis".

Connection: the first name is kind of like our last name or sir name or family name because there are a large group of people with that name, and to make it more specific, there is a second name, which is like our first name, because it identifies us specifically (even though it's possible to find someone else somewhere in the world with the same name as you...but for animals, there is only one species with a certain name, so all species have a different name).
