Binomial nomenclature is the modern system of naming. Binomial nomenclature means "two names." Every organism is assigned a two word name. The scientific name is the genus and species name. The names must be in Latin or Greek. The Genus is capitalized while the species is lower cased. For example, the Carolina Chickadee's scientific name (binomial nomenclature) is Parus carolinesis. "Parus" is the genus and "carolinesis" is the species name.
