Definition
名称 (míng chēng) is a formal word for the name of a thing, organization, or product, often used in writing or official contexts. It is more formal than 名字 (míng zi), which is the everyday word for a person's or thing's name. 名 (míng) is even shorter and appears in set phrases or rankings (e.g., 第一名 'first place').
