Charles Linn - (a Swedish botanist) - more commonly known by his Latin Pseudonym: Carolus Linnaeus, (since scientific writings in Europe were traditionally published in Latin at that time) proposed the 'Binomial System' for naming things when he sought to classify life's diversity.

Since 1953 the 'Binomial System' was changed to the 'Binomial Nomenclature'.

Carl Linnaeus is credited with originating the system of binomial nomenclature in the 18th century. This system assigns two-part scientific names to each organism, with the first part denoting the genus and the second part denoting the species within that genus.

Binomial nomenclature is the two part naming system used by scientists, and usually involves latin words or word parts. It was developed by Carolus Linnaeus in the 18th century. The first word is the genus, and the next is the species. This is what I believe to be the correct answer.
