they make it up :)
An organism can only have one genus name as part of its scientific classification. The genus name is always capitalized and is used alongside the species name to give the organism its unique scientific name.
scientific names often come from Latin words, each part having a meaning. For example the scientific name for dog is Canis lupus familiaris meaning dog friendly wolf, describing what it is.
Scientists use scientific names (binomial nomenclature) to avoid confusion caused by different common names for the same species. For example, the scientific name for the domestic dog is Canis lupus familiaris, which clearly indicates its relationship to the wolf (Canis lupus) and distinguishes it from other species with similar common names.

Black footed ferrets have scientific names so people can distinguish the animals. For example, in China, the Black footed ferret might mean something else. So scientists give animals one specific name.

Pasta is not generally considered 'scientific'; it has many names from continents all over the world, but scientists haven't taken time to give a name to this food seeing as it has no organic or rare matter. You would be more successful looking for the scientific name for wheat, triticum aestivum.
The system is called binomial nomenclature. It was developed by Carl Linnaeus and uses a combination of the genus and species names to give each organism a unique scientific name.
