A proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, thing, or a title. A proper noun is always capitalized. Examples:

That being said, you can't rely solely on a capitalized word being a proper noun, both individuals and professionals sometimes capitalize incorrectly or fail to capitalize when necessary. Many words can be both a common noun and a proper noun and it's best to know which is which. Examples:

I have an apple in my lunch. Fiona Apple is an American singer.

We went to the lake for a week this summer. Here is a map of Lake Michigan.

We can paint the room cream and yellow. We have some Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream.

My secretary can make an appointment for you. Ray Mabus is the US Secretary of the Navy.
