proper noun

Noun

 * 1)  A word or phrase that is a noun denoting a particular person, place, organization, ship, animal, event, or other individual entity.

Usage notes
In English, a proper noun is normally not preceded by an article or limiting modifier and is normally written with an initial capital letter. However, some proper nouns are preceded by articles (such as the Netherlands) and some are uncapitalized, and many common (non-proper) nouns are also capitalized, like European. Some references erroneously conflate whether a noun is common or proper with whether it is capitalized or not, although these are not the same.
