==LISTA PERSONE ANIMALI==
In [[biological nomenclature]], organisms often receive [[scientific name]]s that honor a person. A [[taxon]] (e.g. [[species]] or [[genus]]; plural: taxa) named in honor of another entity is an [[eponym|eponymous taxon]], and names specifically honoring a person or persons are known as [[patronym (taxonomy)|patronyms]]. Scientific names are generally formally published in peer-reviewed journal articles or larger [[monograph]]s along with descriptions of the named taxa and ways to distinguish them from other taxa. Following rules of [[Latin grammar]], species or subspecies names derived from a man's name often end in ''-i'' or ''-ii'' if named for an individual, and ''-orum'' if named for a group of men or mixed-sex group, such as a family. Similarly, those named for a woman often end in ''-ae'', or ''-arum'' for two or more women.
 
This list includes organisms named after famous individuals or ensembles (including bands and comedy troupes), but excludes companies, institutions, [[people|ethnic groups or nationalities]], and populated places. It does not include organisms named for fictional entities, for biologists or other natural scientists,{{efn|[[Charles Darwin]], for instance has over [[Commemoration of Charles Darwin#Species|120 eponymous organisms]]}} nor for associates or family members of researchers who are not otherwise notable. The scientific names are given as originally described: subsequent research may have placed species in different genera, or rendered them [[synonym (biology)|taxonomic synonyms]] of previously described taxa.
