Nomen is the everyday Latin word for 'name.' It is neuter and third-declension (genitive: nominis). Use it for personal names, place names, titles, or the concept of a name. Common phrases include 'nomen est omen' (a name is a sign) and constructions like 'nomen ... habere' (to have the name of), though the verb 'habere' itself is not shown here.
