As it's name suggest?

Hi! everyone.Could you tell me,is my use of "refers to" here right?
-We often see people using this phrase "As its name suggests...."
Can I use it as follows -As it's name refers to....?
Does "refer to" mean ,suggest, here?
How can I use ,refer to, in it? Or what synonymous words I can put replacing the word "suggest"?
Please do tell me about the use of word "refer to".
I also see-:refers to = means
This word refers to......
This word means.....
Thanks!
