Arm span or reach (also known as wingspan) is the physical measurement of the length from one end of an individual's arms (measured at the fingertips) to the other when raised parallel to the ground at shoulder height at a one-hundred eighty degree angle.

What does octave means?
an eight note scale.-----------------------------The term "octave" refers to the distance (interval) between one note and the very next note with the same name. For example, from Middle C up to Treble C is one octave. Since there are seven different white-key notes (A, B, C, D, E, F and G) on the piano, if you go from one A to the very next A up or down the piano keyboard, it will be a span of 8 keys (inclusive).When you play octaves on the piano, you are only playing two notes at a time. (Treble E and High E, Bass F and Low F, Middle C and Treble C, etc.) However, one octave of a scale refers to a series of 8 notes (if by scale, you mean the diatonic Major and minor scales). For example, one octave of the C Major scale would be C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C; one octave of the E natural minor scale would be E, F#, G, A, B, C, D, E; and so on.

The distance up or down of one note to the next note with the same letter name is called what?
It's possible that you mean a half-step. There is one half-step between d and d sharp, for example. I believe you are thinking of an octave. An octave is a span of eight notes, so for example, from one A note to the next A note would be A-B-C-D-E-F-G-A, or eight notes, an octave.
