  Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Trivial name
In chemistry and zoology, a trivial name (also a common name or vernacular name) is a non-systematic name.
Trivial names often have their roots in the common language; in chemistry they may come from historic usages in, for example, alchemy.
Trivial names, generally, are not useful in describing the essential properties of the thing being named such as the molecular structure of a chemical compound or the phylogenetic relationships of organisms.

Many trivial names continue to be used because their IUPAC equivalents are considered too cumbersome for everyday use.
Trivial names often have their roots in the history of chemistry and alchemy.
Some are based on the name of the discoverer, for a remarkable property of the substance, or for a common source of the substance.

 Trivial Name Information from Drugs.com
Such names are common for drugs, hormones, proteins, and other biologicals, and are used by the general public.
The distinction between trivial and semitrivial names is seldom made; thus tetrahydrofolate, methylglycine, glucosamine, etc., are often termed trivial even though each contains a systematic part that is used in the correct systematic sense (tetrahydro for four hydrogen atoms, methyl for a –CH group, amine for –NH in the above examples).
Trivial names are often assigned arbitrarily to chemical compounds, especially from natural sources, before the chemical structures, hence systematic names can be assigned.

 systematic element name Information Center - systematic element name
The systematic systematic element name symbol is formed by taking the first letter of each root, converting the first to a capital.
There is one element whose systematic name is very similar to its permanent trivial name (the symbols are identical).
There are 702 possible combinations of letters given single letter and double letter naming used in official element names, less than the 1000 possible names using the triple letter systematic element naming scheme.

Even though the parallel use of nomina trivialia and many-worded descriptive names continued until late in the eighteenth century, it was gradually replaced by the practice of using shorter proper names combined of the generic name and the trivial name of the species.
In botany and mycology names at the rank of family and below are based on the name of a genus, sometimes called the type genus of that taxon, with a standard ending.
Names above the rank of family are formed from a family name, or are descriptive (like Gymnospermae or Fungi).

Acyclic aliphatic aldehydes are named as derivatives of the longest carbon chain containing the aldehyde group.
Thus, HCHO is named as a derivative of methane, and CH CHO is named as a derivative of butane.
The name is formed by changing the suffix -e of the parent alkane to -al, so that HCHO is named methanal, and CH CHO is named butanal.

This practice of naming glycosyl residues from uronic acids as 'glycuronosyl' is unsatisfactory because it implies the acceptance of the parent name 'glycuronose'.

 AMA (USAN) How to apply for a name
Incorporating a stem into a trade name interferes with nomenclature agencies' ability to systematically create new nonproprietary names for other members of a class of drugs.  Therefore, the USANC Secretariat may lodge objections to proposed trademarks that conflict with USANs/INNs, or that incorporate common stems in trademarks.
Applicants should propose one to three nonproprietary names for the substance.  The suggested name for the active moiety of a drug should be a single word.  If you already have an INN, please supply that name.
When considering an acceptable name the following criteria are constantly kept in mind by the USANC:  usefulness to healthcare providers, patient safety, adherence to the nomenclature rules, absence of conflicts with existing names, suitability for use internationally, ease of pronunciation, and other factors.  The USANC does not choose names based on specific marketing considerations.

 Iterators
As the name suggests, iterators are often used to iterate over a range of objects: if an iterator points to one element in a range, then it is possible to increment it so that it points to the next element.
A sixth concept, Trivial Iterator, is introduced only to clarify the definitions of the other iterator concepts.
As the name suggests, they are different in that they support motion in both directions: a Bidirectional Iterator may be incremented to obtain the next element or decremented to obtain the previous element.

 Introduction to Aldehydes
The aldehydes are named systematically from the corresponding alkanes by changing the ending -ane to -al or to the longer form -yl aldehyde.
Methane thus gives rise to methanal, CH O, which is more widely known by its trivial name formaldehyde, while ethane gives rise to ethanal, CH O, which is more widely known by its trivial name acetaldehyde.
The remaining aldehydes are generally named systematically although some older forms still prevail; propanal is sometimes still referred to as propionaldehyde.

If derivatives are named on the basis of the trivial name, the component cited first in the systematic name receives primed locants.
There are two established methods in use for citing locants: either in parentheses between the glycosyl and glycose terms, or in front of the glycosyl prefix, as in the names of glycosides.
If the reducing terminal is a uronic ester glycoside, the ester alkyl group is cited at the beginning of the name, and the aglyconic alkyl group is cited with the name of the glycosidic residue.

One CD-ROM vendor found that in their “Linux distribution”, GNU software was the largest single contingent, around 28% of the total source code, and this included some of the essential major components without which there could be no system.
So if you were going to pick a name for the system based on who wrote the programs in the system, the most appropriate single choice would be “GNU”.
