A word for a person, a place, or a thing is a noun.
A word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence is a pronoun.
Example: When George got to 19th Street, he got off the train. (the pronoun 'he' takes the place of the noun 'George' in the second part of the sentence)

Are nouns are naming words?
Some people call nouns the naming words. I find that term misleading. I prefer to say that nouns are words for people, places, or things.The reason that is a preferable definition is because a common noun is a word for any person, place, or thing. A proper noun is the name of a person, place or thing. Using the term 'naming word' can confuse the difference between the two types of nouns.
