Public toilets get called: toilets, conveniences, WC, Ladies, Gents, restroom, washroom.
In your house you might refer to them as: the toilet, loo, bathroom.
There are loads of other words that get used in certain areas and by certain people, for example 'the john' 'the lav.'
The word 'latrines' tends to be used by the military.
I have no idea why we have so many words for toilets. Perhaps because they come in so many shapes, sizes and varieties. Some are just toilets (the bit you actually use). Some toilets are in bathrooms. Some toilets have other facilities such as showers or baby-change areas (for changing nappies/diapers). Some toilets are just for ladies, or just for men.
