This quote is spoken by Juliet in the play Romeo and Juliet. In context, she says the line as she is talking aloud to herself about the recent discovery that the boy she fell in love with while dancing is actually a Montague. Since the Montague family (Romeo's family) is the enemy to the Capulet family (Juliet's family), she knows that she will not be allowed to be with him. Thus, she wonders how important a name actually is. For example, if you take a rose and call it by another name, the flower does not change. Thus, if Romeo Montague were to have another name, he would still be the same person that she loves, but he wouldn't have the name of her enemy.
