Word by which someone is known
The word people use to call or talk about a person.

विलोम शब्द
anonymity (Refers to the state of having no name known.)

To choose and say a word for someone or something so people know what to call it.

Reputation or public standing
What people think about someone or something when they hear the word for it.
