Ah, a nice easy question. In a word, Carl Linnaeus. Spellings may vary. I have not done much indepth research on this. If you want to know more, I have given you a groundwork to start on. Aug 10 03, 11:40 AM

Yes, but isn't Linnaeus the Latinised form of his name Carl Linne (acute on the e) which always sounds a bit French for a Swede? Was he part French? Aug 10 03, 9:42 PM
