Different things for different prefixes. Meth, eth, prop, etc. are prefixes in organic chemistry that tell you that there are 1, 2, 3, etc. carbon atoms in a compound. Other prefixes mean other things. But you need to learn the rules for naming compounds, because there are exceptions. CO has just one carbon, but its name has nothing to do with the meth prefix. It is called carbon monoxide.
