According to the formula, this species has one degree of unsaturation and will be the basic salt of the carboxylic acid having the formula C18H36O2. The anionic component of the salt (everything except for Na) will have several geometric and optical isomers, and its actual structure (and name) can only be inferred by spectroscopic methods, mass spectrometry, and optical analytical methods. The best I can do for you is tell you the name of its linear isomer, which would be Sodium Octadecanoate (the sodium salt of n-octadecanoic acid).
