研究专名可以追溯弗雷格、维特根斯坦、罗素、克里普克等哲学家,有的学者认为“专名”就是“专有名词”的同义复指。弗雷格认为,一个符号表示确定对象,那么此符号就是专名。他第一次区分了专名的两个基本要素:含义和指称。简单地说,当我们用专名来表示某个对象的时候,倘若对象存在,则专名就有指称.反之则不成立。弗雷格还制定了英语中区别专名的标准:第一,定冠词开头可能是专名的 The research name can be traced back to philosophers such as Frege, Wittgenstein, Russell, Kripke and others. Some scholars think that “proper name ” is synonymous with “proper noun ”. Frege believes that a symbol that identifies the object, then this symbol is a proper name. For the first time, he distinguished the two basic elements of the proper name: meaning and allegation.

Frege also developed a standard English distinguished distinction: first, the definite article may be the beginning of a proper name
