1. He classified organisms according to similarities in structure - logical today, but unusual then.
2. He started the seven levels of classification: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.
3. He began giving living things two-part scientific names based on Latin. The term for this is binomial nomenclature. The first name is the genus; the second is the species.
4. He named countless species. Look in any field guide. The L. after the scientific name tells us that the name was given by Linnaeus.
After all this Latin naming, he began going by the name Carolus Linnaeus, rather than the Carl von Linne which he was given at birth.
Carolus Linnaeus died on January 10, 1778 at the age of 70.
Linnaeus's last name was "Linnaeus." His full name was Carl Linnaeus.
The binomial nomenclature of classification was proposed by Carl Linnaeus, a Swedish botanist, zoologist, and physician, in the 18th century. This system assigns a two-part Latin name to each species, consisting of the genus name and the species name.
Some of the names Carolus Linnaeus gave organisms are still in use today, while others have been revised or changed due to updates in classification and our understanding of species relationships. Linnaeus' system of binomial nomenclature is still the basis for naming organisms in biology.
Linnaeus is concidered the father of taxonomy. There is no taking that away from him. Nowhere I was able to find someone along Linnaeus performing this work but I did find someone the closest as being alongside Carl, his name is Jonh Ray.
Carolus Linnaeus was born on May 23, 1707.

Linnaeus did not exactly discover anything. He is famous for categorising all forms of life and sorting everything out into species, etc. Refer to this web link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linnaean_taxonomy for full details.
Carolus Linnaeus real name is Carl Linnaeus. There is no real reason why he changed his name however he does get confused with his son whose name is Carolus Linnaeus the Younger. He also went by the name of Von Linne when he was ennobled in 1761.
