Carl von Linne, a Swedish botanist and zoologist produced the hierarchical classification system we use today. He used Latin and Greek as the basis of naming and thus Latinised his name to Carolus Linnaeus.
He was born in 1707 and died in 1778. One of his books was called Systema Naturae. He classified and named 12000 species, a feat facilitated by possible Asperger Syndrome. The system today uses hierarchical levels, the common-to-all-organisms ranks being: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species.
Organisms that are divided into classes are called classifying organisms or classified 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.
