Binomial Nomenclature. In other words, using an organisms Genus and Species to classify them into categories.
English system The name for the current system of naming organisms in latin (e.g. Homo sapiens) is called Linnaean Nomenclature. It is made up of eight different taxonomic ranks, so the full name of any organism in this system would generally be eight words.

Calcium Carbonate
Linnaeus,the Swedish naturalist 1707-1778, devised a binary,two part, naming system that has not been improved upon. It is based on Latin and avoids local names like 'forget me not' etc. which will be different in another country. The first name,equivalent to our surname, describes the Generic or group name eg Quercus (the Oak tree). The second,the specific name, or species is only given to one plant of the same genus eg Robor , the specific type . example 2 gives the variety in a third name. Campanula(lbell shaped)is generic rotundiflora (round flower) specific album ( white) varietal This naming system apples to all organisms and if a scientist discovers a new one he may use his surname in the description,eg Banksia named after Joseph Banks who sailed with Captain Cook to Botany Bay Australia .
Taxonomy is the science of describing classifying and naming organisms.Taxonomy is the practice and science of classification. The word finds its roots in the Greek τάξις, taxis(meaning 'order', 'arrangement') and νόμος, nomos('law' or 'science'). Taxonomy uses taxonomic units, known as taxa (singular taxon).
The science of naming living organisms is called Taxonomy. The two-word system is called binomial nomenclature
Yes, Yes he did. :)
Binomial nomenclature.
Linnaeus used his observations to devise a naming system for organisms. hes naming system was called binomial nomenclature. using this system each organism is given a 2 part name. the first part of a scientific name is called genus and the second is called species.
It's a system of naming organisms.

Naming and classifying of organisms is known as taxonomy. It involves organizing organisms into hierarchical categories based on their similarities and differences. The system used for naming organisms is called binomial nomenclature, where each organism is given a unique two-part scientific name consisting of its genus and species.
Linnaeus
Carl Linnaeus was responsible for starting the taxonomic system of naming organisms. He used Latin words when he started this system to ensure a universal language for naming and classifying all living organisms.
