Briefly, the different names come from the different traditions that each of these "churches" developed before they officially became a part of the Catholic Church or that they developed after they became a part of the Church due to seperation from the Latin practices and/or cultural differences. However, these differences are mostly superficial as far as the Faith goes (that sounds bad so to clarify - none of these bodies is preaching anything contradictory to the basic tenets of the Roman Catholic Church, such as saying something like Jesus was not a real person or that they have another Testament of Christ like the Mormons claim) so there is no problem with these churches being called Catholic, even if they don't look or sound like the sterotypical Catholic Church that most Americans would be familiar with.
