Description

A name is a term used for identification by an external observer. They can identify a class or category of things, or a single thing, either uniquely, or within a given context. The entity identified by a name is called its referent. A personal name identifies, not necessarily uniquely, a specific individual human. The name of a specific entity is sometimes called a proper name and is, when consisting of only one word, a proper noun. Other nouns are sometimes called "common names" or (obsolete) "general names". A name can be given to a person, place, or thing; for example, parents can give their child a name or a scientist can give an element a name.

नाम एक संज्ञा है जो पहचान के लिए इस्तेमाल की जाती है। इससे किसी व्यक्ति-वस्तु, या फिर किसी चीज की पहचान के लिए इस्तेमाल किया जाता है। किसी भी समूह में एक विशिष्ट व्यक्ती, वस्तु, जानवर, स्थान, या अवधारणा को पहचानने के लिये नाम एकमात्र तरीका है जो प्र्त्येक संस्कृति में पाय़ा जाता है।
