Find an alternative noun

Hello People,

Im studying linguistics of Arabic and English grammar and am in need of some help. In Arabic grammar, there is something like "Ism" which translates into "Name" and "Musamma" which translates into "One which is named"
Example : A person is named "Taha" so Taha becomes the "Name"(Ism) and the person himself is the "One who is named"(Musamma).
What I need is a noun for the word "Musamma" which usually translates into words like "Denominated"(adj) or "Entitled"(verb). If a noun would be found for this word, a huge problem would be solved.

Thank You.
