common noun

Noun

 * 1) A noun that denotes any member, or all members, of a class; an ordinary noun such as "dog" or "city". In contrast, a proper noun is a single named entity such as "Socrates".

Usage notes
In English, most common nouns can be preceded by an indefinite article, but there are exceptions (one does not normally say "there is a molybdenum on earth", for instance, instead saying "there is molybdenum on earth"). Many common nouns are also uncapitalized, but some are capitalized (e.g. Frenchman) and the distinction between capitalized vs uncapitalized nouns should not be confused with the distinction between proper and common nouns.
