The Carolina wren was first described under the name of Sylvia ludoviciana by John Latham in 1790.

The northern house wren was formally described in 1809 by the French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot under the current binomial name Troglodytes aedon.

In dense undergrowth, territories are some 10 meters (30–40 ft) in diameter. [2] In late March 1953, males were found to be singing and threatening intruding competitors. Egg laying takes place between mid-March and mid-April. [2] The eggs are similar to those of the house wren, but larger and more elongated.
