What is the meaning of verb s'appeler?

Answer 1

It's direct translation is to call oneself. That is why it needs the son in front of it. If you wanted to introduce yourself you would use m'appeler instead of s'appeler. And then of course, you'd need to conjugate it.

For Example:

Il s'appelle Jimmy.

He calls himself Jimmy.

Also, be careful because, depending on the conjugation, when you conjugate appeler, it gains an L. See above example x)

Answer 2

"S'appeler" means "to be called" in French. It is a reflexive verb used to express someone's name or how someone refers to themselves.
