IUPAC rules for naming an aldehyde:
The longest parent carbon chain is identified that includes the carbonyl group.
The parent chain name is changed by replacing the suffix “-e” with “-al”.
Numbering is done in a way that the carbonyl group is designated as number 1. This is not indicated in the part of the name because for aldehyde, the carbonyl carbon is always numbered 1.
The identity and location of substituents if any has to be determined and this information has to be added in front of the IUPAC name.
If the carbonyl functional group is attached to a ring of carbon atoms, the ring is named and “-carbaldehyde” is added as suffix.
