Binomial nomenclature is the study of naming organisms. Binomial nomenclature's names are composed of two parts, both of which use Latin forms. First part contains a generic name while the second part contains the specific name. It was introduced by the scientists Carolus Linnaeus.  To avoid confusion and difficulties of translation for recently discovered organisms or already discovered organisms,  binomial nomenclature is the most acceptable mode of naming organisms.
