Common Name
A "Common Name" refers to the everyday name used to identify a species, organism, or object, as opposed to its scientific or formal name. Common names are often simpler and more relatable, making them easier for the general public to understand. For example, the common name for Quercus robur is "English Oak."
Common names can vary by region and language, leading to potential confusion. For instance, the Corylus avellana is commonly known as "Hazel" in English, but it may have different names in other languages. This variability highlights the importance of context when using common names.
