Yes, the word starvation is a common noun, a word for any kind of starvation of anyone or anything.

A proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, thing, or a title; for example:

  • Starvation Mountain, Okanogan National Forest, WA
  • Starvation Flats Road, Big Bear Lake, CA
  • "Starvation Lake", a novel by Brylan Gruley
  • "Starvation Heights: The True Story of an American Doctor and the Murder of a British Heiress" by Gregg Olson

Nouns are grouped into two major categories of proper nouns and common nouns. Proper nouns relate to unique things such as a specific person, a city or country or a company for example. Proper nouns are almost always started with a capital letter. Common nouns are generally regarded as all nouns other than proper nouns.

"Starvation" can be categorized as a common noun as it doesn't refer to a specific and unique person or object. As it refers to something that isn't physical that we can touch it can also be classed as an abstract noun, one that refers to an idea or a state of mind.
