Saturated fatty acids have the general chemical formula H3C-(CH2)n-COOH, where 'n' is an integer greater than or equal to 2. Each saturated fatty acid has two names: a common name often referencing its origin (like caproic acid from goat's milk, derived from the Latin "capra") and a systematic name based on its structure (number of carbons, unsaturations, etc.). Additionally, there's a common nomenclature in physiology and biochemistry using the number of carbon atoms and unsaturations (e.g., Cxx0, where 'x' indicates carbon atoms and '0' signifies zero double bonds, meaning the fatty acid is saturated).

Each saturated fatty acid generally has two names:

a common name that often recalls its origin (for example, caproic acid found in goat's milk, its name is derived from the Latin word "capra" which means goat, a systematic name describing its structure (number of carbons, number of unsaturations, etc.) and derived from chemical nomenclature. In addition, these is a nomenclature often used in physiology and biochemistry that is based on the number of carbon atoms and the number of unsanuations (for example, the fatty acid Cxx0 where x indicates the number of carbon atoms and 0 indicates that there are zero carbon-carbon double bonds and therefore, the fatty acid is unsaturated).
