C Ionian Scale

Ionian is the name the Major Scale takes when it is thought of as a mode: the first of seven modes (Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian and Locrian) that share one set of notes. Start the same notes from the 2nd degree and you get Dorian, from the 5th Mixolydian, and from the 6th Aeolian. Learning Ionian alongside its sibling modes shows how one set of shapes across the neck holds all seven, each with its own home note and mood.
