The word "tiger" is traceable to the Latinword tigris, meaning "a spotted tigerhound of Actaeon" for either male or female. The Greek word tigris is possibly derived from a Persian source.
Panthera tigris is the scientific name for the species no matter the color or type.
Each sub-species have their own scientific names;
The Bengal tiger (P. t. tigris), also called the Indian tiger
The Indochinese tiger (P. t. corbetti), also called Corbett's tiger
The Malayan tiger (P. t. jacksoni)
The Sumatran tiger (P. t. sumatrae)
The Siberian tiger (P. t. altaica), also known as the Amur tiger
The South China tiger (P. t. amoyensis), also known as the Amoy or Xiamen tiger
P.t = Panthera Tigris.
In 1758, Linnaeus first described the species in his work Systema Naturae under the scientific name Felis tigris. In 1929, the British taxonomist Reginald Innes Pocock subordinated the species under the genus Panthera using the scientific name Panthera tigris.
The word Panthera is probably of Oriental origin and retraceable to the Ancient Greek word panther, the Latin word panthera, the Old French word pantere, most likely meaning "the yellowish animal", or from pandarahmeaning whitish-yellow. The derivation from Greek pan- ("all") and ther ("beast") may be folk etymology that led to many curious fables.
