Definition
The scientific or Latin genus/species name for the northern cardinal bird (Cardinalis cardinalis).
Etymology
From Latin 'cardinalis' (principal, chief), referring to the cardinal bird's distinctive prominence and importance in North American ornithology.
Kelly Says
The scientific name Cardinalis cardinalis basically means 'the chief of chiefs'—cardinals were so emblematic that the word for chief became the bird's only name!
