Dec 24, 2017 at 3:12 comment added Mauro Braunstein The Wikipedia page you linked has the explanations of the names. Is that not what you're asking? There's mostly common sense -- the karnei farah look like cow horns; the kadma is at the beginning, etc. Most of the names are Aramaic because the people who came up with them spoke Aramaic.
