Carolus Linnaeus real name is Carl Linnaeus. There is no real reason why he changed his name however he does get confused with his son whose name is Carolus Linnaeus the Younger. He also went by the name of Von Linne when he was ennobled in 1761.

Carl Linnaeus' real name was Carl LinnΓ©. He changed it to the Latinized version, Carolus Linnaeus, to conform to the academic practice of the time to use Latin for scientific names and publications.

Carolus Linnaeus changed his name because he was ennobled. It was changed to sound, what he believed, to better represent this honor than his previous name.
