.name is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) intended for the use of individuals' real names, nicknames, screen names, pseudonyms, or other personal names. It was delegated to Global Name Registry in 2001, although it did not become fully operational until January 2002.
The .name gTLD is intended for use by individuals and personalities, both fictional and real.
As a personal, unique and memorable identifier, .name addresses are increasingly being used as a natural address for Digital Identity applications.
The .name whois service is available at whois.nic.name, and there is a website where whois queries can be made at the. name whois website. Registrations are processed via ICANN accredited registrars.
