Wikipedia definition
2. Trivial nameIn chemistry, a trivial name is a common name or vernacular name; it is a non-systematic name or non-scientific name. That is, the name is not recognized according to the rules of any formal system of nomenclature. A limited number of trivial chemical names, however, are retained names and are yet part of the nomenclature. Many trivial names continue to be used because their sanctioned equivalents are considered too cumbersome for everyday use.
