Common Proper Noun: A common proper noun is a type of noun that refers to a specific person, place, or thing and is capitalized. Unlike common nouns, which generally do not require capitalization, common proper nouns are unique and distinct entities. They are used to name particular individuals, specific geographical locations, organizations, institutions, and other proper names.

Examples of common proper nouns include:

  1. John (referring to a specific person)
  2. New York City (referring to a specific place)
  3. Google (referring to a specific company)
  4. Harvard University (referring to a specific institution)
  5. Mona Lisa (referring to a specific work of art)
  6. Mount Everest (referring to a specific mountain)

Common proper nouns help to provide clarity and specificity when referring to particular entities rather than general concepts.
