Linnaeus invented the system of classification still used by biologists today. Every organism has a unique two word name consisting of a genus and species and fits into a number of higher categories up to kingdom.
Carolus Linnaeus was born on May 23, 1707.

I think you mean Carolus Linnaeus. THAT'S WHO INVENTED THE CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM!!!!! :)
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.
Carolus Linnaeus died on January 10, 1778 at the age of 70.
Carl Linne was the person who developed the binomial system of nomenclature we use today. In his day, students names were latinized, hence the more common Carolus Linneaus. His contribution to science is considered so great that he is the lectotype for Homo sapiens.
