Curiosity, why "vmlinuz" vs "bzImage"

I have always been curious, many distros name the kernel file "vmlinuz",
why is that? the kernel builds it into a file named bzImage. It always
seemed to make sence to me to keep it named that, or something like
bzImage-2.4.24 or whatever. Why the "vm"? why linuz instead of linux?

lol always has bugged me maybe someone knows.
