Best Answer

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

Most proper nouns are concrete nouns, however abstract nouns can function as proper nouns; for example:

  • The Declaration of Independence ('independence' is an abstract noun)
  • "War and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy (both 'war' and 'peace' are abstract nouns)
  • Truth or Consequences, New Mexico (both 'truth' and 'consequences' are abstract nouns)
  • "Yesterday" by The Beatles ('yesterday' is an abstract noun)
