There is more than one naming rule for organic compounds. The standardized one is IUPAC. That is to say:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IUPAC_nomenclature_of_organic_...

IUPAC is a standards body; that is their nomenclature.

From an IUPAC name, you can work out the molecular structure but IUPAC names are often longer than older names for the same compounds.
