Musical Note Symbol Names - BrE/AmE

Figuras: note symbols

Español: redonda, blanca, negra, corchea, semicorchea.
American English: whole note, half note, quarter note, eighth note, sixteenth note.
British English: semibreve, minim, crotchet, quaver, semiquaver.

Is it OK the difference between the AE way and the BE one?
Is there any explanation for using two different systems?

Correction: the title should have been "note symbols".

"Music" is a noun, "musical" an adjective.
