How where monosaccharides named?

Monosaccharides are named based on the number of carbon atoms they contain – triose (3 carbons), tetrose (4 carbons), pentose (5 carbons), hexose (6 carbons), and so on. Additionally, they are often classified based on the functional groups present, such as aldose and ketose.
