Known as the father of modern taxonomy, the Swedish botanist, physician, and zoologist Carl Linnaeus (May 23, 1707-January 10, 1778) laid the foundations of the modern biological naming scheme known as "binomial (or binary or binominal) nomenclature" with his 1753 book "Species Plantarum". The system generally favors economy, clarity, uniqueness, and stability.
The actual naming of a particular species is at the discretion of the scientist who first discovers and publishes information regarding that species.
The species is the second word in a binomial name, written in lowercase. The Genus is the first word/name and the first letter is capitalized.
the "species" name
The Genus name, written before the species name, is similar for related species.
The first part is genus and the second part is species.
first part: genussecond part: species
the genus and species
I think you meant a scientific name. A scientific name is the two-part name used to refer to a species. For example:Homo sapiens is the scientific name of the human species.Felis catus is the scientific name of the housecat species.Loxodonta africana is the scientific name of the African elephant species.Quercus alba is the scientific name of the white oak species.
The first part, which refers to the Genus. The second part, referring to the species, is not capitalized.
In the scientific nomenclature of an organism out of the two parts, first part is called the genus and the second part species. This naming is called binomial system of nomenclature.

Genus and species.
The first part of a scientific name represents the genus to which an organism belongs. The genus is a taxonomic rank above the species level and groups together closely related organisms that share common characteristics.
