In philosophy, a "proper name" refers to a specific kind of noun that is used to denote a particular individual, entity, or object. Proper names are contrasted with common names or common nouns, which refer to general classes of entities. For example, "Alice" is a proper name that refers to a specific individual, while "woman" is a common noun that refers to any individual that falls under that category.
