Normal Distribution is a key to Statistics.
It is a limiting case of Binomial and Poisson distribution also.
Central limit theorem converts random variable to normal random variable.
Also central limit theorem tells us whether data items from a sample space lies in an interval at 1%, 5%, 10% siginificane level.

The standard normal distribution is a normal distribution with mean 0 and variance 1.
Frequently it's impossible or impractical to test the entire universe of data to determine probabilities. So we test a small sub-set of the universal database and we call that the sample. Then using that sub-set of data we calculate its distribution, which is called the sample distribution. Normally we find the sample distribution has a bell shape, which we actually call the "normal distribution." When the data reflect the normal distribution of a sample, we call it the Student's t distribution to distinguish it from the normal distribution of a universe of data. The Student's t distribution is useful because with it and the small number of data we test, we can infer the probability distribution of the entire universal data set with some degree of confidence.

When its probability distribution the standard normal distribution.
The Normal distribution is, by definition, symmetric. There is no other kind of Normal distribution, so the adjective is not used.
