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.

பெயர் (Name) என்பது ஓர் உயிரியையோ உயிரற்ற பொருளையோ அடையாளப்படுத்துவதற்காக உபயோகப்படுத்தப்படும் ஒரு சொல்லாகும். ஒருவரையோ ஒரு குழுமத்தையோ இந்தப் பெயர் அடையாளப்படுத்தும்.
