Proper Names

Proper names are specific titles used to identify individual entities such as people, places, organizations, or brands. They are unique identifiers that distinguish one specific person, location, or thing from all others. Proper names are always capitalized in writing to signal their special status. Examples include “Elizabeth,” “Paris,” or “Microsoft.” Unlike common nouns, which refer to general things, proper names refer to exact entities, making communication clearer and more precise by pinpointing exactly what or who is being discussed.
