A name is a label for a thing, person, place, product (as in a brand name) and even an idea or concept, normally used to distinguish one from another. Names can identify a class or category of things, or a single thing, either uniquely, or within a given context. A name for a specific unique and identifiable individual living being (including animals, pluralities, or ethnic groups), is sometimes called a proper name and is a proper noun. Other nouns are sometimes, more loosely, called names; an older term for them, now obsolete is general name.
The use of personal names is not unique to humans. Dolphins also use symbolic names, as has been shown by recent research. Individual dolphins have individual whistles, to which they will respond even when there is no other information to clarify which dolphin is being referred to.
Use of names
Naming is the process of assigning a particular
word or
phrase to a particular object or property. This can be quite deliberate or a natural process that occurs in the flow of life as some
phenomenon comes to the
attention of the users of a
language. Many new words or phrases come into existence during
translation as attempts are made to express
concepts from one language in another.
