appellation (n.)

"称号，给人、物或类别的名称"，15世纪中叶，源自古法语 apelacion "名称，命名"（12世纪），来自拉丁语 appellationem（主格 appellatio）"称呼，呼唤； 上诉； 名称，头衔"，动作名词，来自 appellare "称呼，上诉，命名"的过去分词词干（参见 appeal（v.））。

An appellation is a descriptive and therefore specific term, as Saint Louis; John's appellation was the Baptist; George Washington has the appellation of Father of his Country. A title is an official or honorary appellation, as reverend, bishop, doctor, colonel, duke. [Century Dictionary]
