Why GOKU called KAKAROT?

Goku is one of the most beloved characters in Japanese culture, known worldwide for his great power and for being an excellent character. However, throughout the series we have heard different names and nicknames that have been given to him. One of them, and probably the most curious, is "Kakaroto." But why do they call him that?
The answer to this question lies in his origin: Goku is a purebred Saiyan from the planet Vegeta who was sent to Earth for having a very low power level. The name that his father Bardock gave him at birth was Kakaroto, a name worthy of a purebred Saiyan.

When Goku came to Earth and was adopted by Grandpa Gohan, he, not knowing Kakaroto's true name, named him Goku; that is how his friends knew him, and that is how Goku grew up believing his name was.
But when Goku first met his brother Raditz, he told him that Goku's real name was Kakarot; although it was difficult for him to accept this name, over time he did, and we can see this in the movie Dragon Ball Super: Broly, where Goku himself comments that his name is Kakarot.
