The scientific name of dogs is canis lupus familiaris. The breed of beagle is further specified after that as simply: Beagle or English Beagle.

The information at the American Kennel Club about the breed and how is got its name of Beagle states:

The origin of the name "Beagle" may have been derived from the French term "be'geule," referring to the baying voice of the hounds when in pursuit of game, or possibly the diminutive size of the hound.
