The Atlantic canary was classified by [[Carl Linnaeus|Linnaeus]] in 1758 in his ''[[10th edition of Systema Naturae|Systema Naturae]]''. Linnaeus originally classified the Atlantic canary as a subspecies of the European serin and assigned them to the genus ''Fringilla''. Decades later, Cuvier reclassified them into the genus ''Serinus'' and there they have remained. The Atlantic canary's closest relative is the European serin, and the two can produce on average 25% fertile hybrids if crossed.
