What's in a name?

[Freelamp944]

Hopefully you guys will find this as interesting as I did. I was thinking about the scientific naming process and was curious about the English translations. After some searching, I found this article that kind of shows what I'm talking about. If you scroll down a little, you can see a break down of how the yellow tang was named. Does anyone else know some interesting name translations or a resource to find more?

Wow that was actually very interesting. But im not sure that yellow tangs are zebra striped. The one in the first picture looked like a baby that hadn't colored up yet is all. Anyways I digress. That was a great read and I think lots of people would be interested if you repost this with info about the article in the title. Maybe "making sense of latin names" or something.
