A quick definition of given name:

A given name is the name that a person is given at birth, which distinguishes them from others. It is also known as a personal name or first name. A person's full name includes their given name, middle name (if any), and surname. A legal name is the name recognized by law, which may or may not be the same as a person's given name. A nickname is a name given to a person as a term of endearment or familiarity. A tradename is a name used to identify a business or product.

A more thorough explanation:

A given name is a word or phrase that identifies a person and distinguishes them from others. It is also known as a personal name or first name.

John
Samantha
Michael

These examples illustrate how a given name is used to identify a person. For instance, if there are two people named John in a room, their given names can be used to distinguish them from each other.
