Seahorse is the title given to forty-seven species of marine fish in the genus Hippocampus. "Hippocampus" comes from the Ancient Greek hippos meaning "horse" and kampos meaning "sea monster".
A major reason is that "sea horse" actually covers multiple different species of animals living in many different habitats. A scientific name needs to be specific to one interbreeding population of animals so that information about that species can be discussed without confusion. Put another way, using "sea horse" as a scientific name is about as useful as talking about "rocks" in geology - there are so many different things you could be talking about that a scientific conversation is not possible without further defining what exactly you are looking at.
Hippo means horse in Greek and campus means monster in Greek. Ingens means huge in Latin. These seahorses are the largest species of seahorse and since they resemble horses to a degree but also look a little odd, that would explain the "horse monster" aspect of the name.
