Explanation
A name is the word people call you by, like John or Riya. It also refers to what we call things, places, or ideas. For example, my name is Variable. As a verb, it means to give a name or to mention someone, like they named the baby after her grandmother, or she refused to name the student who broke the window. Names help us identify people and things easily.
