    Latinized Greek. Thamnophis is a combination of two Greek words, meaning "bush" and "snake", but it's written in the Latin alphabet and should technically follow the Latin grammatical rules when you create a scientific name or use it. So there's only one correct way to write it, but no correct way to pronounce it.
