In addition to the generally accepted taxonomic name Homo sapiens (Latin: "sapient human", Linnaeus 1758), other Latin-based names for the human species have been created to refer to various aspects of the human character.

The common name of the human species in English is historically man (from Germanic), often replaced by the Latinate human (since the 16th century).
