Tagetes is the scientific name for them (It's actually the genus they belong to, patula would be the species). French marigold is a common name for them here in the US. Most people here in the US would recognize marigold but wouldn't have a clue what tagetes is unless they're really into plants. Tagetes is probably technically more correct than marigold since marigold is more a regional/national name
