itemnaam

Itemnaam is a generic term used in Dutch-language contexts to denote the name of an item in catalogs, databases, software interfaces and documentation. It is not a specific product or brand, but rather a placeholder label for the human-readable designation of an item.

The term combines item, an English loanword widely used in technical vocabularies, with naam, the Dutch word for name. In practice, itemnaam appears in system designs as a field name or label.

In database schemas and APIs, itemnaam often corresponds to the display name of an object, such as a product, file, or record. It is typically intended for end users, distinct from internal identifiers like IDs or SKUs.

Variants include artikelnaam or productnaam in Dutch, and item_name in English-language schemas. Some systems prefer more descriptive labels, such as 'naam van het item' or 'titel'.

Because it is not standardized, naming conventions vary by organization. When designing a data model, choose consistent naming and avoid mixing languages. Document whether itemnaam refers to a label, a title, or a category.
