AB - The aim of this paper is to investigate the semantic property of the proper names. First, I examine the criterion that the proper names are the names which have unique referents. It must be revised because proper names can have plural or uncountable referents. I suggest that the referents of proper names are not unique but homogeneous. Second, I examine deictic property of proper names. I insist that the characteristics of proper names are quite different from those of pronouns and rather similar to those of common nouns. Third, I investigate the connotational meaning of proper names. Proper names have semantic duplicity of motivational meaning and real encyclopedic meaning. Motivational meanings are divided into three kinds: identificational, descriptive, desirable. Even though proper names can not be interpreted into other languages in general, some proper names can be translated. This is also an evidence of the existence of motivational meaning.
