List of Latin and Greek words commonly used in systematic names - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (623 words) |
 | The binomial nomenclature used for animals and plants is largely derived from Latin, as are the names used for higher taxa such as families and orders. |
| It is helpful to most people to be able to understand the common words that arise from scientific names, and the table lists some of these; while the Latin names do not always correspond to the current English common names, they are often related, and if their meanings are understood they are easier to recall. |
| The list includes personal names only where their Latin form is markedly different from their English or other original language form, so that it might be difficult to guess the relationship. |

| one would have to be pretty obsessive to keep a list like that, and though i easily qualify (agreed?), i gave up on collecting names when i was in high school and no longer writing (m)any stories. |
| i began collecting names again several years ago, and i thought maybe others would be curious to see some of the names i have archived. |
| finally, a little disclaimer: these lists will never include every name in the world (as that would be impossible), i do not do this professionally, and please do not take it personally if your name is not on these lists. |
