Usually Greek or Latin, but the names can be whatever the scientist naming the animal wants.

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.
Taxonomy, as a systematic method for classifying organisms, was developed by Carl Linnaeus, a Swedish scientist, in the 18th century. Linnaeus is often considered the father of modern taxonomy for his work in establishing the binomial nomenclature system we still use today.
The language used for standard zoological nomenclature is Latin. This practice was established by Carl Linnaeus in the 18th century to provide a universal system of naming and classifying organisms. The use of Latin helps to avoid confusion caused by different languages and ensures consistency in naming across the scientific community.
Carl Linnaeus died in 1778 at Hammarby in Danmark Parish, near Uppsala, Sweden.
Linnaeus introduced the use of binomial nomenclature, which assigns two names to each species. He focused on physical characteristics for classification rather than behavior or habitat, as Aristotle did. Linnaeus also emphasized the importance of hierarchical grouping in his classification system.
Latin was not only the language of scholars then it was the language Linnaeus used in his new taxonomic classification scheme. Lupus is Latin for wolf.
Latin was the official language at the time of Aristotle and Linnaeus. It is now a dead language and if changed will create great confusion to nomenclature worldwide. It is a neutral language and has no political alignment.
Carl Linnaeus is known as the father of modern taxonomy. Although a system of binomial naming had been in use for some time, it was unorganized. Linnaeus, through documented studies and publications, was able to normalize the naming system that is still in use today.
Linnaeus's last name was "Linnaeus." His full name was Carl Linnaeus.

No, Linnaeus is not single.

Linnaeus chose Latin for his naming system, known as binomial nomenclature, because Latin was a widely used language in science and scholarship during his time. Using Latin provided consistency and clarity in naming species across different regions and languages. Additionally, Latin was considered a "dead" language, meaning it was not evolving like modern languages, which helped to ensure stability in scientific terminology.
