the.com/name

means The word or sequence of words used to identify a person, place, or thing, distinguishing it from all others.

from From Old English 'nama,' part of a very old Germanic family (compare German 'Name,' Dutch 'naam'), which traces back further to the ancient Proto-Indo-European root '*h₁nómn̥' — the same deep root that gives Latin 'nomen' (hence 'nominate,' 'noun') and Greek 'onoma' (hence 'anonymous,' 'synonym'). Almost every Indo-European language carries some echo of this root, which is a quiet way of saying: for as long as there's been language, there's been a word for naming things.
