Guidelines for the naming of organisms include:-  (i)A scientific name generally has two words in Latin or is derived from Latin irrespective of its origin.  (ii) the First word denotes the genus whereas the second word for species.  (iii)To show the Latin origin, names are presented in italics or independently underlined. (iv)There is only one right name for each taxonomic category. (v)The name should be short, precise, and simple to say. (vi)Homo sapiens is a generic name that starts with a capital letter and ends with a tiny letter. After the species name, the author's name is put in a shortened form and printed in Roman.
