so that everyone in the world would know what you're talking about regardless of origin/language or culture
With many items such as drugs, there are specific naming conventions and the scientific name itself gives an idea of the function of the drug. However, many "lay people" prefer names like aspirin rather than acetylsalicylic acid.
Similarly chemical names describe the chemical structure, but can be complex so many items will have a "common name" and a "chemical name".
