A quick definition of name:

A name is a word or phrase that identifies a person or thing and sets them apart from others. It can be a personal name given at birth, a family name, or a name used for a business or product. A legal name is the name recognized by law, and a nickname is a shortened version of a name. A distinctive name is one that clearly distinguishes something from others, and a generic name is a common name used for a group of things.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A word or phrase that identifies a person or thing and distinguishes it from others.

Examples:

  • Personal name: The name given to a person at birth, such as John or Sarah.
  • Surname: The family name automatically bestowed at birth, acquired by marriage, or adopted by choice, such as Smith or Garcia.
  • Trademark name: A nondescriptive name that may be owned and registered as a trademark, such as Nike or Coca-Cola.
  • Geographic name: A name that designates a geographic location or area, such as New York or Paris.
  • Corporate name: The registered name under which a corporation conducts legal affairs, such as suing, being sued, and paying taxes, such as Apple Inc. or Microsoft Corporation.

The examples illustrate how a name can be used to identify and distinguish a person, place, or thing from others. Personal names and surnames are used to identify individuals, while trademark names are used to distinguish products or services from those of competitors. Geographic names are used to identify specific locations, and corporate names are used to identify legal entities.
