the binomial system of nomenclature is the formal system of classification which is used today. it was "invented by Karl Von Linne, a sweddish botanist (1707-1778).

he liked Latin so he changed his last name to the latinised form of linne, "linnaeus"

However, binomial nomenclature in various forms did exist before Linnaeus, and was used by the Bauhins, who lived nearly two hundred years before Linnaeus.
