Motion JPEG is a two field per frame format (like ye olde TV) while Photo JPEG is a single frame progressive format. There is nothing random nor messed up about the naming.
I say 'aka' because unfortunately its not that simple. I believe that Apple labeled JPEG in .mov as "Motion JPEG" for a while, and it was just a JPEG codec. But it was not MJPEG. So the whole naming is messed up.

In any case, JPEG is the one that most people want.
