For a human the taxonomical name is Homo sapiens.
A human's binomen is Homo sapiens, which is the scientific name for the species to which humans belong. "Homo" refers to the genus to which humans belong, and "sapiens" refers to the specific species within that genus.
The two categories used in a binomen are the genus and the species. The genus refers to a group of closely related species, and the species is a specific organism within that group. Together, the genus and species create a unique scientific name for each organism.
Binomial nomenclature (also called binominal nomenclature or binary nomenclature) is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, both of which use Latin grammatical forms, although they can be based on words from other languages. Such a name is called a binomial name (which may be shortened to just "binomial"), a binomen or a scientific name; more informally it is also called a Latin name. The first part of the name identifies the genus to which the species belongs; the second part identifies the species within the genus. For example, humans belong to the genus Homo and within this genus to the species Homo sapiens.
A binomen is a name with two parts, or a scientific name at the rank of species with two terms, a generic name and a specific name.

Binomial nomenclature is a system of using two names to identify a species, which are the genus and the species names. The genus name starts with a capital letter, but the species name is written in all lower case letters. The genus and species names should either be italicized (in print) or underlined (when handwritten). No two species on earth can have the same species name, but they can have the same genus name. Examples include the gray wolf (Canis lupus), the coyote (Canis latrans), and the domestic dog (Canus lupus familiaris). The gray wolf, the coyote, and domestic dog are in the same genera (plural for genus), but in different, unique species or subspecies (the domestic dog).
