The noun for which a pronoun is substituted is called the pronoun antecedent.
The noun for which the pronoun is substituted is called its antecedent (preceding, prior) because the noun is mentioned either earlier in the sentence or in a preceding sentence.
Personal pronouns like he she me we are used instead of somebody's name.
e.g. I like Jon, he is very interesting.
(the pronoun he substitutes for the proper noun Jon).
Personal pronouns can also be substituted for noun phrases.
e.g. My sister and I went to the beach. We both got sunburned.
(the pronoun we substitutes for the noun phrase my sister and I)
