Some nouns are common nouns and some nouns are proper nouns.

A common noun is a general word for a person, place, or thing.

A proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, or thing.

Examples:

person-> king (common noun)-> Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (proper noun)

place-> city (common noun)-> New York City (proper noun)

thing-> fruit (common noun)-> Fruit of the Loom, clothing (proper noun)
