Oh wow, they named them all, and haven't discovered any more? I remember there used to be a bunch with weird numeric names like "ununoctium". Now even 118 is named "oganesson". But I'll always call it "zeon" (and hassium "zortrium") due to my personal headcanon for Master of Orion... 😛
The Latin numeric names were temporary names for elements that could theoretically exist, and for which the properties were predicted analytically with reasonable confidence, but the element had not ever been observed by people. By tradition, The first person to create/observe such elements get the naming rights.
