alcohols react with organic acids to form esters. So if you had alcohol A and acid B, the reaction product is called the "A ester of B acid."
The same holds true with the nitric acid, except it usually reacts with every -OH in the glycerol, assuming there is enough nitric acid to go around. The last two are the same and the common name for the product is NITROGLYCERIN (boom) or glycerol trinitrate

2-methyl-1 butanol + ethanoic acid --> 2-methyl-1-butanol ethanoate
methanol + salicylic acid --> methyl salicyclic
butanol + ethanoic acid --> buthyl ethanoate
ethanol + butanoic acid --> ethyl butyrate
1,2,3-propantriol + nitric acid --> trinitro glycerol (glycerol trinitrate)
glycerol + nitric acid --> trinitro glycerol (glycerol trinitrate)
