The normal distribution is family of distributions. When the standard normal distribution is applied consistently across the distribution, it is said to be normally distributed.
The only distribution with a mean of zero and a standard deviation of one is the standard normal distribution.


For instance, z values are often computed using the desired features of the distribution when a particular distribution is believed to be a normal distribution.
So, it is also a family of distributions, according to the conventional normal distribution.


So, yes, the standard normal distribution is also a family of distributions.
