What are the names of compounds in the element chlorine?

The most common compound including chlorine is sodium chloride, or NaCl. Sodium metal explodes when exposed to water, and chlorine is a poisonous gas, so it's a little strange to realize that we have this compound sitting right there on the dinner table; we call it "salt". Another fairly common compound is the mixture of hydrogen with chlorine, which we call "hydrochloric acid"; it is commonly used for cleaning. In a very dilute solution, we call it "bleach".


Why is ClO named hypochlorite?

If you mean ClO-, this is not a systematic name. There are quite a few ions made of chlorine and oxygen, and the general name for them is chlorates, (where the -ate ending signifies oxygen). If there is a lower amount of oxygen than in another compound we often change the ending to -ite, and the prefix hypo means 'below' , so basically we are saying this is an anion containing chlorine and oxygen, but not very much oxygen. Systematically, we call it the chlorate(I) ion.
