In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Nāma (नाम, “name”) refers to one of the five cause of songs (dhrūva) according to the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 32:—“The tāla of six or eight kalās observed in dhruvās will constitute their neasure (pramāṇa), and just as names (nāma) are applied to men according to their clan (gotra) family (kula) and customs (ācāra), so they are applied to dhruvās according to their depending on an occasions (sthāna)”.
Nāma (नाम) refers to “nouns” (in Sanskrit grammar) and forms part of the “verbal representation” (vācika), according to the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 15. Vācika itself represents one of the four categories of representation (abhinaya).
Nāma (नाम, “nouns”).—The noun has its functions determined by the case-endings such as ‘su’ and the like, and by special meanings derived therefrom; and it is of five kinds and has a ‘basic meaning’ (prātipadikārtha) and gender.
It (the noun) is known to be of seven classes, and has six cases, and it is well-known as something to be ‘constituted’ (sādhya), and when combined thus with different case-endings it may imply ‘indication’ (nirdeśa), ‘giving to’ (sampradāna), ‘taking away’ (apādāna) and the like.
Natyashastra (नाट्यशास्त्र, nāṭyaśāstra) refers to both the ancient Indian tradition (shastra) of performing arts, (natya—theatrics, drama, dance, music), as well as the name of a Sanskrit work dealing with these subjects. It also teaches the rules for composing Dramatic plays (nataka), construction and performance of Theater, and Poetic works (kavya).
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Nāman (नामन्).—Noun, substantive; one of the four categories of words given in the Nirukta and other ancient grammer works; cf. चत्वारि पदजातानि नामाख्याते चोपसर्गनिपाताश्च (catvāri padajātāni nāmākhyāte copasarganipātāśca), Nir. I.1. The word is defined as सत्त्वप्रधानानि नामानि (sattvapradhānāni nāmāni) by standard grammarians; cf. Nir. I. 1.; cf. also सत्त्वाभिधायकं नाम (sattvābhidhāyakaṃ nāma), R. Pr. XIII.8; V. Pr. VIII. 49 and com. thereon. Panini divides words into two categories only, viz. सुबन्त (subanta) and तिङन्त (tiṅanta) and includes नामन्,उपसर्ग (nāman, upasarga) and निपात (nipāta) under सुबन्त (subanta). The Srngarapraksa defines नामन् (nāman) as follows-अनपेक्षितशब्दव्युत्पत्तीनि सत्त्व-भूतार्थाभिधायीनि नामानि। तानि द्विविधानि। आविष्टलिङ्गानि अनाविष्टलिङ्गानि च । (anapekṣitaśabdavyutpattīni sattva-bhūtārthābhidhāyīni nāmāni| tāni dvividhāni| āviṣṭaliṅgāni anāviṣṭaliṅgāni ca |) The word नामन् (nāman) at the end of a sasthitatpurusa compound signifies a name or Samjna e. g. सर्वनामन्, दिङ्-नामन्, छन्दोनामन् (sarvanāman, diṅ-nāman, chandonāman); cf. also. Bhasavrtti on संज्ञायां कन्थोशीनरेषु (saṃjñāyāṃ kanthośīnareṣu) P. II.4. 20 and संज्ञायां भृत् (saṃjñāyāṃ bhṛt). P. III. 2.46 where the author of the work explains the word संज्ञायां (saṃjñāyāṃ) as नाम्नि (nāmni). The word is used in the sense of 'a collection of words' in the Nirukta, cf. अन्त-रिक्षनामानि, अपत्यनामानि, ईश्वरनामानि, उदकनामानि (anta-rikṣanāmāni, apatyanāmāni, īśvaranāmāni, udakanāmāni), etc.
Vyakarana (व्याकरण, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas. Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.

Yāska classifies all words into four classes: nāma (nouns and pronouns), ākhyāta (verbs), upasarga (prefixes) and nipāta (indeclinables).
Nirukta (निरुक्त) or “etymology” refers to the linguistic analysis of the Sanskrit language. This branch studies the interpretation of common and ancient words and explains them in their proper context. Nirukta is one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas.

After saying ‘So be it’, the excellent Brahmins who knew the proper time proclaimed the Tithi etc. very delightedly. Then Himācala mentally urged with pleasure by lord Śiva, the cause of great enjoyment, smilingly spoke to Śiva. ‘O Śiva, please do not delay. Please mention your genealogy, saintly lineage, family, name (nāman) and your Veda along with your branch of the Vedas’”.

General definition (in Hinduism)
Nāman (नामन्, ‘name’) is a common word from the Rigveda onwards. The Gṛhya-sūtras give elaborate rules for the formation of the names of children, but more important is the distinction between the secret (guhya) and the ordinary name, though the rules as to the secret name are not at all consistent. The secret name is already recognized in the Rigveda, and is referred to in the Brāhmaṇas, one secret name, that of Arjuna for Indra, being given in the Śatapatha-brāhmaṇa.
In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Mental phenomena. This term refers to the mental components of the five khandhas, and includes: vedana (feeling), sanna (perception), sankhara (mental fashionings), and vinnana (consciousness). Compare rupa.N Consciousness. (Sensation, perception, volition and consciousness).
Nama (mentality) is divided into 3 kinds. Two kinds of nama are conditioned and the third kind is unconditioned. The four kinds of absolute realities are then:
- consciousness (citta)
- mental factors or mental formations (cetasikas)
- materiality (rupa)
- nibbana
Citta and cetasika are mental phenomena, nama, which are real in the ultimate sense.
(lit. 'name'): 'mind', mentality.
This term is generally used as a collective name for the 4 mental groups (arūpino khandha), viz.
- feeling (vedanā),
- perception (saññā),
- mental formations (sankhāra) and
- consciousness (viññāna).
Within the 4th link (nāma-rūpa) in the formula of the paticcasamuppāda, however, it applies only to karma-resultant (vipāka) feeling and perception and a few karma-resultant mental functions inseparable from any consciousness.
As it is said (M.9; D.15; S.XII.2): "Feeling (vedanā), perception (saññā), volition (cetanā), impression (phassa), mental advertence (manasikāra): this, o brother, is called mind (nāma)."
With the addition of 2 more mental factors, namely, mental vitality (jīvita) and concentration (samādhi), here 'stationary phase of mind' (cittatthiti), these 7 factors are said in the Abhidhammattha Sangaha to be the inseparable mental factors in any state of consciousness.
For the complete list of all the 50 mental formations of the sankhāra-kkhandha (not including feeling and perception), s. Tab. II.
Theravāda is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Nāma (नाम) refers to “words”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “[...] The Bodhisattva Gaganagañja then sustained the jewel-canopy of ten thousand yojanas high over the Lord’s lion throne in the sky, joined the palms of his hands, saluted, and praised the Lord with these suitable verses: ‘[...] (10) The dharmas are devoid of a living being (satva), a life principle (jīva), and a person (pudgala). They are pure and beyond words (nāma) like the sameness of open space. Understanding the fact that there is no real self, he awakens living beings to the unconditioned (asaṃskṛta) ambrosia (amṛta). [...]”.
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā sūtras.

Nāman (नामन्) or Nāmakarma refers to “name karmas”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “In this world sometimes corporeal [souls] filled with a mass of virtue appear in heaven because of the development of life and name karmas (nāmakarma—āyurnāmakarmodayād iha) connected with the celestial state of existence. And, having obtained the good fortune of heaven, [those corporeal beings] enjoy heavenly pleasure in the lower heavens and in the celestial vehicles or among other groups [of gods]”.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being.
