A binomial is a 2- part scientific name for a species. It is part of taxonomy, or the system of classification of species. The roots bi- meaning two, and nom, meaning name, suggests its meaning. The first part is called the genus, (the name of the group of species closest to the one named), and the second part is the specific epithet, the name of the species. Panthera pardus,commonly called a leopard, is an example, in which the Panthera is the genus and pardus is the specific epithet. Conventionally, the binomial is italicized and the first letter of the genus capitalized.

RossA binomial name refers to a scientific naming system for organisms that consists of two parts: the genus name and the species name. This system, known as binomial nomenclature, was developed by Carl Linnaeus in the 18th century to provide a standardized way of naming and classifying all living organisms.
