It's called natural gas because before we got it from the ground we got it by heating coal until it gave off gas and piping that to homes and businesses.
Natural gas is natural because it naturally occurs in the earth and is not distilled from coal like coal gas is.
This right here. Stop spreading nonsense TO, making it look as if that was a fact. Look at the history of lighting etc.
That is the true etymology of natural gas, we can call it whatever we want including "bottled farts"
