could you pls tell me why latin is used in giving scientific names on plants and animals?

Why are some of the scientific names latin?
There are three reasons actually.





First for a very long time, Latin was the language of the educated due in large fact to the influence of the Roman Catholic Church. It would be natural then that many early scientific classifications were in Latin.





Secondly after that influence waned, scientists needed a common language A flower could have one name in England, another in France, a third in Germany and so on. To avoid some confusion a common language was used and Latin was the default.





A plant could also have several common names even in one country. Using Latin could prevent that Sometimes two different plants could use the same common name in different areas
Reply:Naming was done long time ago when most of the great scientist were latin so they did it!
