Uitgangsnaam

Uitgangsnaam is a Dutch term that translates to "exit name" or "name of departure." It is most commonly used in the context of public transportation, specifically referring to the name or description of a stop or station from which a passenger is departing.

For example, when using a ticket vending machine or an app to plan a journey, a user might be asked to input their "uitgangsnaam" to specify their starting point. This could be a specific street name, a landmark, or the official name of a bus stop or train station. The term helps to disambiguate locations, especially in urban areas where multiple stops might share similar names or be in close proximity.

In some contexts, "uitgangsnaam" can also refer to the name of a departure gate at an airport or the exit point from a building or venue. The precise meaning is dependent on the specific situation in which it is used, but it generally indicates a point of origin or departure. The term is not widely used outside of Dutch-speaking regions.
