Heyaaa frnd..
# According to nomenclature... first of all.. we have to count the number of carbon atoms..
# In the given one, CH3OH, we have one carbon atom..
☆ Meth - One
☆ Eth - Two
☆ Prop - Three
☆ But - Four
☆ Pent - Five
☆ Hex - Six
☆ Hept - Seven
☆ Oct - Eight
☆ Non - Nine
☆ Dec - Ten
# So.. We have to choose METH
》》》》》》
# After that, we have to identify the functional group...
☆ Alcohol -OH
☆ Ketone -CO
☆ Aldehyde -CHO
☆ Carboxylic acid -COOH
# Therefore.. Here the functional group is Alcohol..
# The word to be added as suffix is OL
=> Hence.. After joining Meth + Ol = METHANOL
% IUPAC name of CH3OH - METHANOL
% Common name of CH3OH - METHYL ALCOHOL

Hope it helps...
