Titin is the largest known protein with a length of 34,350 amino acids. Regular proteins are relatively big molecules, and titin happens to be the largest with a chemical formula of C132983H211861N36149O40883S693 The "chemical name" of a protein is basically a listing of the amino acids it contains in order: Glycyltryptophanylalanine would be a compound made of the amino acids glycine, tryptophan, and alanine. If there are more than a few amino acids the names get very long, so proteins are often given (fairly) short names as well, often ones that describe what they do or where they're found. "Titin" is one example; "hemoglobin" and "superoxide dismutase" are a couple of others. There's also a shorthand way of specifying the exact sequence of amino acids in a protein that uses a three letter abbreviation ("GLY" instead of "glycyl") and an even shorter way that uses single letter abbreviations ("W" instead of tryptophanyl (no, it doesn't make sense to me either)).

Why are the names of some chemicals are so long (such as 9- 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-d-arabinofuranosyl adenine)?
"The chemical name is a precise and standardized description of a molecule. If the molecule is very complicated, then the chemical name will be very complicated (i.e., long), too. That's just how the chemical naming system works. If the chemical name isn't practical, then another name will be coined for it in practical use."
What is the chemical name of cornmeal?
Cornmeal is a complex mixture so does not have a chemical name.
